Samurai: The Making of a Warrior

The exhibition features samurai arms and armor from an exceptional private collection in Greensboro, NC, displayed alongside visually compelling cultural objects, offering a more nuanced view of samurai life and history. Also included in this exhibition is a discussion about samurai women, who were often key to successful samurai families and played significant—if largely hidden—roles in the careers of famous male samurai leaders.
