SAMURAI ARMOR DOCCUMENTARY

Inuyama City, about 30Km north of Nagoya is home to a number of national treasures, including the oldest remaining castle in Japan, Inuyama Castle. The people of Inuyama are proud of their history, and rightly so! Recently the city has been working on strengthening it's historical and cultural appeal....
One such way was to invite my teacher, samurai armor craftsman, Ogawa Sensei to open a small workshop there, and build armor for Inuyama city event purposes...
Right now a TV crew is making a documentary about the armor making going on in Inuyama, and as one of Ogawa Sensei's first armor making apprentices, I got interviewed too! The documentary is set to air early March across Central Japan on Tokai TV.
