Onna-Bugeisha[]

"I am not afraid…I was born to do this."

Onna-Bugeisha


The Onna-Bugeisha are the wives and daughters of high ranking Samurai and in times of war who have been trained in warfare. Technically this was to protect their household, family, and honor if it became necessary, but in many cases widowed women had to become warriors to oversee their dead husbands estate or fend off invasions or coups while he was away.
