RE: [samuraihistory] Help- Background info

Hi Everyone!
I am new to the group and very interested in Japanese Armor. I live in
Dallas, Texas and work for The Crow Collection of Asian Art. We are having
an Armor exhibition opening on March 21st.
I work in the Education Department for the museum. As a result I am helping
to develop a lesson plan for teachers and students and also putting together
background information for the tour guides. I do have some information, but
am very interested in learning more. One of the perks of my job is getting
to see some of the exhibits before they go on display. I am blown away by
the armor and masks. This stuff is sooo amazing and cool. I can't wait to
see the public's reaction. The reason I am writing this is to hopefully get
information from those with more knowledge on this subject matter. In
addition to the Samurai Archives on the web, I was wondering if anyone might
have suggestions for more information (i.e. websites, books, movies, etc).
I am also looking for pertinent information that might be especially
interesting to children.
Thanks so much! I look forward to being a part of this group!!
Warm regards,
