This is on my list of major purchases for the year, I am planning it out and I think I will get in the spring when I move to a new apartment. These are authentic Samurai armour and they come with a carrying case which also turns into a display mount so you can set it up anywhere. I also have to make it out to Seki, in Gifu prefecture (home of Kitana manufacturing for centuries) and get my Sword commissioned, however this is long process of paperwork, but once I get that all done it takes about 3 months for the blacksmith to design and make the sword, all using traditional techniques.
I am starting a collection of weapons of war from different time periods and cultures and I think that a Samurai Outfit and authentic sword will make a huge contribution to the collection which at this point has a Roman Knife, and a Yemeni Khanjar. The Roman Knife is ancient and it needs a bit of work to make it look presentable, but its an authentic piece of history. Many thanks to Patryk for smuggling it out of Europe and getting it to me in Canada, along with all the Roman Coins he found. In terms of academia I know its wrong to posses ancient artifacts as they should be in a museum or with some other such institution. However I want to start my own collection and there is no other way to have a collection other than to start acquiring items.
