One of the good things about talking to visiting delegations from Japan is that you know that you will receive a gift at the end of your speech.
For a long time this was a calculator [when they were a desirable consumer item] or something electronic. So I was very pleased to be given a cast iron model Samurai helmet one time. Here it is complete with name plaque [of a famous warrior of old] The cushion that also came with it has long gone, but it has survived repeated attempts by the rest of the family to liberate it.
