@urbanadventurerldn: 𝖲𝖠𝖬𝖴𝖱𝖠𝖨 exhibition at British Museum 🗡️🇯🇵 How do you imagine a Samurai? A fierce male warrior wearing armour, wielding a sword and motivated by unshakable loyalty and devotion to their lord? 🗡️ Samurai – as we imagine them today – have been heavily shaped by films, anime, manga and video games. In reality, Samurai were not just warriors, they were also artists skilled in calligraphy, painting and literature 🖌️ The exhibition explores the evolution of the legendary Japanese warriors from the 12th century, discussing how they moved away from the battlefield to become an elite social class and how they have influenced pop culture not only in Japan, but also in Europe through film, anime, manga, video games and more. #samurai #samuraisword #japanthings #britishmuseum #exhibition
