Samurai: The Making of a Warrior



October 19, 2024–February 2, 2025



East Building, Level B, Joyce W. Pope Gallery



Samurai: The Making of a Warrior invites visitors to consider the original purpose of Japan’s material culture of war and see its connections to history, art, daily life, and politics. The exhibition features samurai arms and armor from an exceptional private collection in Greensboro, NC, displayed alongside visually compelling cultural objects, offering a more nuanced view of samurai life and history. Also included in this exhibition is a discussion about samurai women, who were often key to successful samurai families and played significant—if largely hidden—roles in the careers of famous male samurai leaders.



The exhibition features samurai arms and armor from an exceptional private collection in Greensboro, NC, displayed alongside a selection of visually compelling objects of material culture. Samurai: The Making of a Warrior paints a more nuanced view of samurai culture and history by contrasting the material culture of war with other types of objects that played an integral role in samurai life.
