In this episode, Asian art specialist Ashley Innes looks at the Samurai exhibition at the British Museum, revealing how it goes beyond simply displaying armour to immerse visitors in the broader world of Samurai culture. The exhibition is praised for its curation regarding Samurai women, historically excluded from these discussions, and highlights their significant contributions to many areas of life. Ashley also looks at market values of Samurai artifacts, like weaponry and armour, and the importance of factors like condition and artist recognisability.
