Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo Becomes Learning Tool in British Museum 4/24/06
Stan Sakai's beloved samurai rabbit, Usagi Yojimbo, has recently become one of the latest learning tools at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, England. Devoted to spreading an appreciation for the arms and armor of the world, Usagi Yojimbo was selected by the Museum to explain traditional Japanese samurai attire to patrons of all ages. As a highlighted character of the "Learning Through Literacy" Easter Trail exhibit, Usagi Yojimbo's appearance is explained in detail - from his long, tied ears to the small emblem on his kimono.
