Pagan Eye: Samurai Goblin Helmet at the British Museum
The helmet on the right depicts a Japanese mythological creature. I took the photo at the Samurai exhibition currently on at the British Museum. Here’s the details about the two items of head gear:
“Helmet designs could be inspired by nature, myth, or the wider world. These helmets are formed to represent the mythological tengu goblin… The cylindrical brimmed hat shows how the arrival of European objects…also inspired new designs.”
The Samurai is an iconic figure, evoking images of formidable fighters possessing ideals of courage, honour and self-sacrifice. The exhibition shows how much of this is actually invented tradition, but I was fascinated by the amount of mythology and spirituality that inspired customs and designs.
The Samurai exhibition runs until 4 May. The British Museum is at Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG. Adult tickets are £25 but members get in for free. Find out more here: https://www.britishmuseum.org/
