There is a similar set in the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. What is most striking about it, is that it is both fearsome and seemingly child sized. They are small.

As fearsome as the Samurai warrior was for its time and place, it gets a chuckle out of me every time I see it as I imagine having to fight a child.
