It is a shame that all these treasures leave Japan.

Foxie: True, but some of the best treasures in Japan are never available to the public for viewing. Anyway, this would be a wicked display.

Sounds like the Last Samurai at the Metropolitan. No guns?

Will wake up some, in other countries, that the great Knights of England & France to where-ever were a bit late in what they used not to mention the physical skills a Samurai had to learn before he was looked upon as a true Samurai.

Smythe, I have finally figured out what you want to say. And Foxie, most of the treasures mentioned above in the second paragraph are on loan from Japan. There's no shame in it.
