Onna-Bugeisha: the story of female samurai | Special weapons and special fighting techniques

Bushido is the way of the samurai, that is, of a real man. It would seem that everything is true, but this is far from the case. Yes, men have always predominated among samurai, but there were also women among them, the so-called Onna-Bugeisha.
Women samurai not only had their traditions but also special-edged weapons and special fighting techniques, tailored specifically to female physiology. Thanks to this, women could fight on equal terms with men. Sometimes it happened that female samurai even became full-fledged commanders, leading armies of thousands.
The Japanese term Onna-Bugeisha, which is used to refer to female samurai, literally means a combination of the words “woman” and “person of martial arts.” This was the name given to women whose fighting skills went beyond ordinary ceremonial traditions. Onna-Bugaisha, unlike other women, could easily be found on the battlefield, dressed in armor covered in the blood of enemies. They took full part in the combat life of the samurai class.
