I'm used to my husband receiving packages of historic Japanese artifacts from all over the world.
He was showing me the suit of armor a man had sent from Japan that he had picked up at the post office this morning. We paused from looking at the sweat marks, bloodstains and cuts in the 300-year-old steel, leather and silk do (corselet), to answer a knock at the door.
My husband returned with a strikingly similar box -- exact same size and shipping information. It was a second suit of armor only in better condition. Another gift from the son of his former mentor.
That brings our total of complete suits of Japanese armor to five. I guess you never know when a warring samurai clan might invade Duluth.
