My favorite blogger-megababe, Geisha Asobi (aka geisha fun), has a great photo of herself decked as a samuri warrior of the Japanese kitchen. (Since Japanese junk kitchens are the worst in the developed world it is no wonder she has to be a warrior just to survive.)

Embiggen.
Starting from the top and moving clockwise, the Japanese kitchen gagets she is wearing are:
Dual pizza cutters mounted on a samuri helmet made of a wok and spatulas
Shoulder guard made of a long-handled tempura sieve
Arm armor made from the bambo rolling mats for making maki type sushi
A wrist guard made of a green-handled spatula
Waist armor made of baking sheet for shell-shaped madeleine cookies
A dagger that is really a bambo wisk for making green tea
And, flat-breast plate made from a steel steamer over another bambo rolling mat

Dude, ’shell shaped cookies’ are called madeleine… every mother know the recipe in France…

Yes Conligny-san, I had a hard time remembering the names of the gadgets in Japanese so I overdid it on the solely descriptive names.
