Video Description
// Listen with headphones for best experience // Join conservators Dana Melchar, Robert Mitchell and Roisin Morris as they work as a team to dismantle a delicate 18th-century suit of samurai armour, so that it can be transported to Young V&A. Rather than being used for battle, this armour was a decorative piece, worn when the feudal lords would march from their home domain to Edo (present day Tokyo), to meet and stay with the Tokugawa shogun (military leader). The long journey provided a perfect opportunity for extravagant procession, where they showcased their social status and personal tastes – as seen through the armour. Watch and listen as Dana, Robert and Roisin carefully untie intricate knots and take photographs to document the process, so that the armour can be correctly reconstructed once moved. 00:00 Who was it made for? 01:27 How was it made? 01:52 How will it be conserved? 02:25 Untying the helmet and lifting it off 04:24 Photographing knot placement 05:08 Removing the mask 06:07 Untying the neckpiece 06:25 Peek at the original colour 07:23 Untying knot on rear cuirass 08:30 Banner holder 09:05 Untying shoulder panel 11:06 Leather strap 12:46 Was this worn for battle?
