The Samurai Style Dressing

This was during our visit at Osaka Castle in Osaka. The castle has a good display of their ancient history, but to be honest, it is ok, nothing very great. The beauty of the Castle is watching it from the outside. That's like not to be missed. So while we were visiting the castle on of the floors we came across this traditional dressing and clicking pictures. There was a charge to it. I do not remember how much it was, but we thought it would be worth it to take back a traditional memory of this place. In the price they gave us one picture from their side and we by ourselves could click as many pictures we wanted.

I had given my phone to the lady at the desk who was managing this and she clicked not one or two but almost 50 pictures, but all in the same pose. There was hardly any pose change, so it did not matter one or 50 they all looked same :-)

The dressing here is Samurai style. The man dressing is more of a Samurai man going for a war. The Samurais were the military warriors and they ruled the country for a long time almost 700 years from 1185 to 1868. That's a very long time for being politically dominant. There was an emperor also but he was only a symbolic power, the real power was with the Samurais and they were the ones who established a strict feudal system.

Some pictures we clicked after dressing up in Samurai style.

There were all different accessories on display, we could choose whatever we wanted.

It was a fun moment.
