abstract: "Masked Warriors" provides new insights into the approach of form, function and meaning of the Japanese armor masks. The diversity and the connections with existing mask disciplines, especially no masks, shows us that the Japanese armor masks form an integral part within the Japanese mask culture. This study also shows that no-masks have been of much greater influence on the development of armour masks (menpo) than previously understood. It is comprehensive display of artefacts illustrating the Samurai daimyo culture of Japan and its connection with the no-theatre. The objects displayed in this richly illustrated book not only include arms and armour, but also nogaku robes and costumes, masks, instruments and paintings. Bas Verberk is art curator and researcher. He is an expert on the material culture and arts of the Samurai. His research interests focus primarily on pre-modern Japanese art and history, with a particular emphasis on the Muromachi and Edo periods. -- Exhibition: Japanmuseum SieboldHuis, Leiden, The Netherlands (08.12.2017-27.05.2018).
