<\/p>\nMarvel at this collection of some forty items including samurai armor and swords from the Sengoku Period and the armor of Kanbei Kuroda, Fukuoka’s most legendary samurai. Although brightly colored and beautifully decorated, these armors and swords were used for battle. Some historians speculate that the helmets of Kuroda\u2019s soldiers were so eye-catching that they were easily targeted in combat. The full battle gear of the Kuroda clan will also be on display, providing great insight into Fukuoka\u2019s history from the Momoyama period to the Edo period. For an extra \u00a5200 visitors can also enjoy a closer look at the Heshikiri-Hasebe sword, which is regarded as a national treasure (available for viewing between Jan. 5 to Feb. 4). <\/p>\n
