This decorative Japanese samurai helmet was part of a 1977 gift exchange between the Rotary Clubs of Wrangell and Noshiro, Akita Prefecture, Japan. Noshiro and Wrangell are sister cities, and the helmet was given in return for a hand-carved totem pole given to Noshiro's Rotary Club several years previous. The helmet is on permanent loan at the Wrangell Museum.
