I don't know if it's somehow fitting that Europe's only samurai museum is in Berlin, but I'm glad it is, because I'm only a short tram ride away from some incredible sights!

I visited the Samurai Museum this weekend with my son and we were both blown away. The museum itself is a very modern space, with a mix of more than 4000 authentic items filling 1500 square metres over two floors.

My favourite piece was probably the beetle helmet (amazing!), and the AI-tweaked photos of me and my son as samurai warriors. He looks like Daniel Craig! 😂

The samurai suits belong to Peter Janssen, a lifelong Japan obsessive and collector who opened the Samurai Museum in 2022. The armour is all displayed in well-lit cases, alongside various masks and weapons and mascot-like motifs. In all, you'll find around 200 helmets, 1500 masks and 160 swords, amongst hundreds of smaller items and sculptures.

There's also a number of multimedia areas, projecting the history of Japan's samurai era in vivid detail, complete with animations and sound effects for a super high-quality result. The traditional Japanese drumming performance is incredible, too, so make sure you don't miss that.

My ★★★★ review of The Last Samurai (2003) on @letterboxd: boxd.it/8NNiSX

boxd.itA ★★★★ review of The Last Samurai (2003)Today 20 years ago, I went to the movie theatre with a date I met irl one or two weeks beforehand. We choose The last samurai. Although we did not find the movie to be 'bad', I had more negative stuff to say about it than he did. Something about montage mistakes, probably... Nevertheless, we've been together ever since. So once again it's confirmed movies CAN bring people closer together. Even when you have (artistic) differences about it. So whenever you read this, my dear, shall we go watch another Cruise film soon? (or perhaps this one because I have

Another new drawing of an old character from my suspended Wizardry 6–8 playthrough: a Dracon (humanoid dragon-person) samurai named Wrath.

Wrath adventures alongside the monk Motoko, who I drew back in December. That leaves four more characters in the party still to draw, when I find the time.

Then maybe I have another go at Crusaders of the Dark Savant?

A drawing of a dragon-man warrior, stepping through the threshold of a stone portal, his cloak billowing out behind him as he holds his sword at the ready. The dragon-man has scaly green skin, yellow eyes, a pair of horns sprouting from his brow, and frills for ears. He has a ragged burgundy cloak and is wearing armour: a breastplate, bracers and greaves, all of which bear scratches from battle. He's wearing baggy striped dark-burgundy trousers under an orange kilt. He's holding a single-handed sword with a blackened blade. The night sky through the portal behind him is dark orange, as if fire burns in the distance.
