Lord, It's the Samurai - spoof of current Samurai exhibit at AAM
An amazing website spoof of the "Lord of the Samurai" exhibit at the Asian Art Museum
The spoof, renamed "Lord, It's the Samurai - Myth + Milartarism + Man-Boy Love" is presented by the "Asians Art Museum where Asian still means Oriental".
From the ersatz website:
Enter the world of the samurai, where more than seven centuries of martial rule are reduced to a single Disney-like trope of gentleman-warrior myth. Military prowess meets cultural connoisseurship in an ideal of masculine perfection--selling militarism as beauty in a time of war.
And a link to an erudite review from the blogger of "the skinny on beyondasiaphilia"
