Marugame, Shikoku, Japan, Historical event

Been lazy with my posts past few weeks but heres the rest of the Samurai pictures. The end of the event. The Samurai are de-arming and allowing the spectators to check out the equipment.

During this they talked with the spectators about the guns and armor, they also let them hold and pose with the equipment

After all of this they headed back to the building to undress and store everything, which I assume is in the museum.

All in all it was a pretty cool event where we got see a bunch of historic weaponry and watch fully armored samurai show what would have been done in the past. I hope my images were interesting and enjoyable.

Thanks for viewing, my posts are about the journey, the process and showing my experiences. Where there are a lack of words I like my work to speak for its self. Don't hesitate to ask questions. All the photos are mine and can be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/takoyaki_king/ Follow me if you interested in photography and travel.

That looks like a lot of fun. Seeing historic weaponry and reenactments is usually pretty fun. I really like the first photo, with the guy sitting on the wall. If you crop the guy on the left out, it would be a fantastic portrait :-)

cheers, yeah that first one is one of my favs.
