Japan has supplied the world with endless creative inspiration. No matter where you look throughout Japanese history, artistry is everywhere—whether in the ornate detail of a warrior’s armor or in the rich patterns of a geisha’s dress. These details tell the story of a people known to few—a people whose experiences remain shrouded in mystery to this day. These details tell the story of the warriors that were never known beyond legend—the story of the Samurai.
