Beautiful!

I have a question, however - silly, though, it might be; don't the girls get helmets? I know I'd want a helmet too if my brother got one.

Yeah girls don't, this is a custom just for boys in Japan
Instead, we hold Hina festibal (Hina-matsuri) for girls

I love how it's said so casually, "This is my nephew's armor."

As a picture, I love how it not only shows culture through simply the object of focus--the armor. The tapestry and vase allude to [not necessarily] a more traditional respect. Reminds me of my grandma, whack.
