Onna bushi (In Progress)by ~Precise24

Traditional Art / Drawings / People

These samurai women are armed with the naginata, a long pole arm that is tipped with a deadly curved
sword-blade; Historically, Japanese women were trained to defend their homes in times of war but few took part in open battle. Those who did quickly became legends. In the heike Monogatari, an account of the Genpei War, Tomoe Gozen, a female samurai of the Minamoto clan, is described as especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair, and charming features. She was also recorded as being a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot; She was one of the last warriors standing at the Battle of Awazu, even outliving her master who was struck down by an arrow during the fight. ( Now you know! lol
