Chargé d’ Affaires ad interim Masaki Ikegami attended to the opening ceremony of the British Museum’s new major exhibition: ‘SAMURAI’ on 29th January.
The exhibition explores the evolution of the legendary Japanese warriors from the 12th century, discussing how they moved away from the battlefield to become an elite social class and how they have influenced pop culture not only in Japan, but also in Europe through film, anime, manga, video games and more.
SAMURAI – The Exhibition

SAMURAI exhibition opened on the 3rd February at the British Museum and there are over 280 artefacts on display, including full Samurai armours, intricate helmets, swords and archery equipment, kimonos and other items, including erotic books, porcelain dishes and vases.

The exhibition also showcases how Samurai appears in pop culture today. There is a life-size Darth Vader suit borrowed from the Lucas Museum of Narrative in LA, floor-to-ceiling videos of silhouetted soldiers in battle and a large display of Samurai video games, including the widely popular Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Kylo Ren’s (played by Adam Driver) iconic helmet in Star Wars sequel trilogy is also on display. Director J.J. Abrams wanted to give Ren’s costume visual resonances of Darth Vader. The helmet was designed with jagged red lines evoking the traditional repair technique of ‘kintsugi’.

What is kintsugi?
Rather than hiding the damage, this technique highlights the fractures on the broken item, embracing its imperfections as parts of the object’s beauty, giving the object a whole new life.
About Samurai
Photo: Urban Adventurer
How do you imagine a Samurai? A fierce male warrior wearing armour, wielding a sword and motivated by unshakable loyalty and devotion to their lord?
Samurai – as we imagine them today – have been heavily shaped by films, anime, manga and video games.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
In reality, Samurai were not just warriors, they were also artists skilled in calligraphy, painting and literature. During peacetime when they didn’t have to fight on battlefield, many of the Samurai held important roles within the government or even acquired political powers.

The exhibition is featuring a traditional business suit Samurai would wear in peace time.
Many Samurai monetised their hobbies and was selling their artworks for living.
Where does the Word ‘Samurai’ Come From?
Photo: Urban Adventurer
The word, ‘Samurai’ comes from the Japanese verb saburau meaning ‘to serve’.
Historically, terms musha, bushi and mononofu were used to describe the members of the warrior ruling class, but ‘Samurai’ is more commonly used in the Western countries.
Were There Female Samurai?
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Yes! The Samurai class included lot of female warriors who also held great power. One of them was Hōjō Masako (1157 – 1225), who married the first shogun, Minamoto Yoritomo (1147 – 1199) and acted as regent multiple times.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
An original painting of Minamoto Yoritomo is also part of the exhibition. The painting is featuring the shogun in a sitting position, wearing black robe and a high bun hairstyle. The painting was created by Fujiwara no Takanobu in the 12th or 13th century.
Women also had the important role of raising children and running the household, and sometimes they even commanded battalions at important battles.
What Training Did Samurai Do?
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Samurai had to be able to use various weapons. The level of training depended on the rank and location, but archery was an essential skill. They also needed to be highly trained in martial art.
Samurai were expected to learn painting, calligraphy and flower arranging and needed to be well versed in poetry. As alliances were essential for a Samurai, these skills were cultural codes and how they mastered them sometimes was a matter of life or death.
Do Samurai Exist Today?
Photo: Urban Adventurer
No. Following the collapse of the Tokugawa shogunate, Samurai status was abolished in 1869 and since then there have been no Samurai.
However, Samurai still live with us in popular culture, anime and as heroes in films and as video game characters.
Words associated with Samurai society still exist and widely used in Japan today. For example, an unemployed businessman is called rōnin (rōnin was used to describe unemployed Samurai or Samurai without a master).
Photo: Urban Adventurer
SAMURAI exhibition gives a rare insight into the lives of the mysterious Japanese warriors. The exhibition features lots of full Samurai armours, hand-written rolls, swords once belonged to real Samurai and tells the story of the shogunate, how the children of Samurai were trained from a very young age and what led to the complete abolishment of the Samurai class in the 19th century.
If you’re interested in Japanese history and culture or simply love anime and manga and want to learn more about what inspired your favourite series, make sure you don’t miss this truly amazing exhibition at the British Museum.

Japan House London’s new exhibition is celebrating the beauty of everyday objects.
Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan exhibition is organised in collaboration of Ryohin Keikaku Co., Ltd. (MUJI) and was first presented at ATELIER MUJI GINZA in Tokyo in 2023.
ATELIER MUJI GINZA is a six-floor cultural space, consisting of an art gallery hosting annual exhibitions focusing on craft and design, a library, a café, a lounge and the MUJI flagship store selling daily necessities, furniture, health & beauty products, food, fashion, kitchen supplies and other everyday essentials.

In Japan, craft practices (should it be lacquerware, wood, glass, clay, leather or any other material) are often passed down through generations for – often times – hundreds of years resulting incredibly high-quality and unique hand-crafted products.
Before the 1920s, the focus was on the beauty of the hand-crafted objects while craftsmen remain anonymous until the ‘folk craft’ (mingei) movement turned people’s attention to the artists.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Hyakkō: 100+ Makers from Japan exhibition, rather than celebrating a single material, craft or technique, invites over 120 craftsmen, artists and makers to showcase the diversity of craftsmanship, materials, self-expression, and tradition that all blend together to form Japan’s contemporary craft landscape as it looks like today.
“The flow of the river never ceases, and yet the water is never the same.” Kamo no Chōmei
Photo: Urban Adventurer
“As people daily lives change, so the objects we use.” – says Simon Wright, Director of Programming at Japan House London.
Japan House London’s new exhibition is a rare opportunity for visitors to witness how deep rooted traditions evolve, change and shape through personal history and the local environment over the centuries.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Although, traditions change over the centuries, they are able to embrace individuality without ever confining. As a result, individuality and traditions can create a harmony and function, aesthetic and purpose.
13th-century Japanese writer, Kamo no Chōmei ‘s words resonate with this beautifully in his Hōjōki (An Account of My Hut):“The flow of the river never ceases, and yet the water is never the same.”
“We hope visitors will see this craft not simply as objects, but as an innovation to reflect on ways of living that connect creativity, community and care.” – Simon Wright adds.
Gallery Tours, Workshops and Demonstrations
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Japan House London is running special gallery tours led (by curator Nagata Takahiro and maker Ichikawa Takashi), workshops, including intimate tea gatherings with Ichikawa Takashi, talks with special guests as well as demonstrations throughout the the exhibition until 10th May 2026.
Tea Demonstration and Tasting with Ichikawa Takashi
Ichikawa Takashi
Photo: Urban Adventurer
Ichikawa Takashi is a Japanese potter, based in Shiga, Japan. He was born in Shiga Prefecture and graduated from Hokkaido University of Education Kushiro Campus before continued his studies in Joetsu University of Education, specialising in sculpture.
He also studied ceramics and worked at various studios across Japan. In his own studio in Maibara City, Ichikawa-san makes pottery and accessories, including tea saucers, wooden lids and vessels. His works have been exhibited in Japan and abroad.
Photo: Urban Adventurer
You can find his works in the exhibition, and some of them are available to purchase at Japan House London’s shop.
Led by his interest in tea cultures around the world, Ichikawa-san is specialised in tea pottery, wild plant, medicine and herbs. He often hosts tea gatherings and demonstrations to help people rediscover the joy of living in harmony with nature.
At his tea demonstrations, Ichikawa-san introduces the most different herbs and wild plants to his audience and encourages them to create their own blend based on their personal tastes.
Tea demonstration by Ichikawa Takashi

During his tea demonstration we participated in at the Press Preview of the exhibition, we had the opportunity to taste three different blends, created entirely by us, representing the root, the leaves and the flowers.
We also had the opportunity to make an interview with Ichikawa-san.
Q:I recently came across a very informative and interesting article about your work and style on the Internet and learnt that you have your very own style when it comes to pottery making (especially teacups, pots and tea kettles that you’re specialised for). Could you please tell me a few words about your own style? How have it shaped over the years and what are the hallmarks of your style?
Ichikawa Takashi:
In terms of my practice, I mainly work through solo exhibitions. I initially started by making vessels to accompany food and tea, but gradually became more and more absorbed in tea itself.
An encounter with towering tea trees led me to perceive tea as an event involving plants, water, and fire (the sun).
From this perspective, I began wanting to create tools and objects that draw out the appeal of plants and allow people to enjoy them.
The things I want to make always have a concrete purpose. Based on that purpose, factors such as size, capacity, thickness, and weight are determined, which then lead to decisions about appropriate materials and firing methods.
Depending on the object, porcelain may be suitable, or earthenware, or heat-resistant clay. I use different kilns accordingly: two types of wood-fired kilns, an oil-fired kiln, as well as electric and charcoal kilns.
In addition to ceramics, I also work with iron, wood, bamboo, and stone, creating various tools—such as distillers, roasters, and mills—as well as tea carts, counters, benches, and other devices that suggest the beginning of something, enabling playful tea experiences.
Everything I create carries a story behind it, and I take pleasure in that process.
Q:What inspires you when creating your pottery? How does the creation process look like? Do you have a specific idea in mind when you start working or do you just let it go and see what come out?
Ichikawa Takashi:
I am inspired by whatever currently captures my interest.
This changes from time to time, but everything is connected.
At first, I focused on home cooking, making vessels for the dishes I wanted to eat.
Now, my interests include decocted teas, tisanes, and tea practices among ethnic minorities.
From the tools used, the actions taken, and the reasons behind them, forms I want to make begin to emerge.
These forms become more concrete as I work—by moving my hands.
Q:You’re not just an expert in tea pottery making, but also make your own tea blends from herbs, wild plants and medicinal herbs. You also smoke the tea leaves if my knowledge is correct. Could you, please tell me a few words about that?
Ichikawa Takashi:
First, when the desire to create swells up from my mind, I begin working with clay. This stage may be the most important.
Once the content or object is decided, I consider what kind of clay to use, along with capacity, size, and weight, and then determine the firing method.
When shaping and finishing, I think about where the excitement lies in the object.
Wanting people to use the pieces casually, I aim for simple forms, avoiding overworking them, while searching for the right balance.
My goal is to create objects that can grow and mature like well-used old tools.
Although it may sound like I work “slowly and carefully,” the actual rhythm of making is very fluid and energetic—I make continuously, following a comfortable flow.
I rarely aim to make identical forms; instead, I focus on capturing the “now” that emerges from my hands, much like singing a song.
Once the form is made, it is finished, dried, glazed if necessary (unglazed for yakishime pieces), loaded into the kiln, and fired.
Firing durations vary depending on the kiln. The longest firings last three days or even up to a week.
After unloading the kiln, there is further finishing, and then the work is complete.
Some objects—such as distillers or roasters—may appear enigmatic. In those cases, the fired ceramic pieces are combined with other materials to complete the work.
I make tea because I want to understand it more deeply, and I host tea gatherings as part of that exploration.
Neither my tea-making methods nor the style of my tea gatherings are entirely original. I do have references, but I don’t reproduce them exactly—I alter them slightly.
Rather than replication, I add small innovations to keep things feeling fresh, creating playful interactions with participants.
What I want to create are the triggers, settings, and landscapes around tea.
My current style draws inspiration from ethnic minority tea practices, the early discovery of tea, historical accounts, and nostalgic memories.
I also reference related fields surrounding tea—such as non-tea teas (茶外茶), wild herb teas, medicinal teas, soups, jams, dyeing, incense, and other forms of plant use.
This is not about making things complicated, but about simplicity—engaging with the event of plants, water, and fire (the sun).
I find it fascinating when conversations about these elements naturally arise.
By understanding the reasons and benefits behind incorporating living plants into daily life, and by re-experiencing those intentions, we can rediscover the value of current tea and sense new possibilities.
While deep knowledge within each field is important, it can sometimes obstruct pure, intuitive perception.
Letting go of that knowledge for a moment and facing the plants in our daily lives can feel surprisingly fresh and insightful.
I am also drawn to water—such as spring water as living water—and to the differences between soft and hard water; there is still much to explore.
As for heat—fire and the sun—it is a powerful and potentially dangerous energy, precisely because of which we must cultivate attentiveness and respect when engaging with it.
Beyond smoking tea leaves, I am particularly interested in roasting and decocting tea. Each practice has its purpose and effects.
What fascinates me most is the here-and-now quality that does not lend itself to commodification or distribution.
The fleeting moments when aromas rise during roasting or decoction are profoundly rich experiences.
Many of my tea gatherings take the form of participatory workshops.
There is no single “beautiful, delicious, correct” tea prepared in advance.
Participants blend, roast, and experience those fleeting aromatic moments themselves—experiences distinct from simply drinking tea, and ones that can be carried forward into future practices.
I act only as a gentle guide. Of course, I do my best to prepare delicious tea, but more than that, my hope is for the space to become neutral ground where people feel the power of plants, exchange ideas and information, and expand their curiosity—allowing them to shift their own interests into the next stage.
Q:Do you have favourite tea or blend?
Ichikawa Takashi:
I wouldn’t say that I possess a specific original technique, nor am I pursuing one.
When I first started, I did search for originality in colors, forms, and finishes, but that approach became superficial and led to a dead end.
Now, my main concern is: how can I do what I truly want to enjoy?
From there, I think about materials I like, how to combine them, and finding the right balance.
I feel much closer to what I truly want to do than before—I’ve become more playful.
I love rock tea (or yancha), especially Da Hong Pao. Its rich aroma, deep strength, and the way it endures through many infusions are especially appealing.
That said, as I continue to encounter new tea practices, my curiosity never settles on just one thing.
My favorites change with the seasons and with my physical condition. Recently, I’m particularly drawn to tisanes!
As for blending, rather than fixed recipes, I enjoy adjusting blends and brewing methods according to my condition at the time—adding ginger, spices, fresh herbs, or wild plants.
Introducing change and play allows me to enjoy the present moment more fully.
I believe that repeatedly engaging in this kind of play helps each person cultivate their own inner landscape.
Note: Japan House London will close early at 6pm on 15th December

Whilst at the exhibition, make sure you watch the interview with Nagai Kazumasa, graphic designer and advisor at the Nippon Design Centre, who will give you a glimpse into the creation of the famous pictogram collection and the challenges the artists faced during the designing process.
Throughout the decades, Nippon Design Centre has been involved in global projects and today has offices in Japan, Europe and North America.
From Cave Paintings to Emoji

The exhibition delves deep into the history of visual communication, starting from 15,000 years old cave paintings made by early humans, to Egyptian hieroglyphs, to the Lascaux murals in France to today’s digital pictograms, the emoji.
As we can see, visual communication goes back to the earliest times of human history and is present till this day.
Pictograms are used everywhere from travel to tourist hot spots and maps to street signs to products labels and toilets. Pictograms – in fact – have become a critical role in global tourism and many other areas, making our everyday lives easier.

Now, stop for a second and imagine a life without pictograms. Imagine how our lives would be without those simple little symbols. Without pictograms, we would have to read long texts displayed on boards at airports and stations and may even miss our trains because of that.
Japan’s Pioneering Role in Pictograms

Pictograms are created to inform and reassure in an easy-to-understand way regardless the language we speak or the country we are in and Japan’s pioneering role in the development of pictograms is undeniable.

“When you see pictograms, you naturally understand where to go or how to use something, creating a sense of both security and freedom of movement. They are a ‘friendly point of contact’ between space and society.” – Daikoku Daigo, Art Director and Graphic Designer at Nippon Design Centre explains.

The 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games was the first ever Olympic Games held in Asia. Visitors and athletes were expected from all over the world, and they needed to be able to navigate in a country whose language they didn’t speak.
That’s why multiple sets of pictograms were designed, helping visitors and athletes to find their way around Tokyo, and to be able to identify the different sports on the programme.
Nippon Design Centre have set up the standards for sporting pictograms that later were used all over the world.
Did you know that the word ‘emoji’ we use for digital pictograms also comes from Japan?
Letter ‘e’ means ‘picture’ and ‘moji’ means ‘character’. Emoji has been used to describe digital picograms from the 1990s.
Understanding the Essence of the Subject

Believe it or not, creating pictograms is a very complex process.
The artist needs to understand the core essence of the subject they want to work with. – explains Daikoku.
Let’s take an apple, for example. As the first step, the artist creates a mind map to visualise all the things an apple is connected with. They include colours and shapes, but also biblical meaning, like the forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden.
The artist has to keep in mind what essential information the pictogram needs to carry. The artist also needs to consider the size of the pictogram: will the pictogram be used in small scale or bigger scale? If the pictogram will be used in small scale, the designer eliminates all unnecessary details and elements to create a clear, easy-to-understand design that delivers harmony.

If the pictogram represents a person and captures movement, such as walking or swimming, the movement will be broken down to frames (similarly to motion picture) and the artist needs to identify that one particular move that captures the essence of the action.

‘Pictograms: Iconic Japanese Designs’ has two fun interactive sections allowing visitors to create their own pictogram or even be part of one themselves.
You can create your own pictogram using a selection of elements and components provided. Select any elements you like, choose a theme and create your very own pictogram representing anything you like on the lit up table.

As part of the exhibition, Japan House London ran a design competition among primary and secondary school pupils in collaboration with The Japan Society.
‘My Design’ program invited pupils to design their own pictogram representing a specific aspect of London important to them. The winning designs are featured as part of the exhibition.

Ready for your next adventure? Enigmatic Japanese author, Uketsu’s new book, ‘Strange Houses’ is now available to purchase in the UK. We went to the press event hosted by Pushkin Press where we tried themed cocktails and ‘Strange Sushi’.
Following the roaring success of ‘Strange Pictures’, world-famous enigmatic Japanese author and YouTuber, Uketsu, has released their new mystery novel: ‘Strange Houses’.

World-famous Japanese horror writer with millions of followers on social media is just as mysterious as their novels. Despite of his world fame, no one knows Uketsu’s true identity.
On their social media channels, they always wear a grotesque white paper mâché mask and they digitally distorts their voice. They have no face, no name, just an enigmatic pseudonym: UKETSU which means “rain hole” in Japanese.
Addictive Story Line that Involves the Reader to Solve the Mystery
Photo: Urban Adventurer
‘Strange Houses’ story line is revolving around the floorplan of a house a Japanese family want to buy. Both the husband and the wife fell in love with the house, and they have serious intention to buy it, but they discover a sinister ‘dead space’ on the floorplan. It’s a tiny hidden room with no windows or doors.
As the story goes further, other bizarre discoveries emerge. Somehow the whole floorplan, the positions of rooms, windows and doors look strange. If you thought a floorplan can never be creepy, think again!
The book has a narrator that investigates the house and its odd floorplan with the help of an architect. The story encourages the reader to actively participate in resolving the mystery by studying the floorplan and learning more about the family that built the house and their complex relationships and rivalries with each other throughout generations.
Unlike ‘Strange Pictures’ which tells multiple stories that eventually connect to each other and create a whole story, ‘Strange Houses’ has one story line. It allows the reader to follow the story of one family – that built the house – from the beginning to the end.
Translator of the book, Jim Rion said that Uketsu wants their story to be easily read and accessible to all readers. That’s why Jim Rion focused on keeping the same clarity when translating the book from Japanese to English language.
The chilling Japanese mystery sensation is finally available in English. Do you think you can discover the terrible truth behind the eerie floorplan?
