New: Onna-bugeisha archers + Onna-bugeisha with naginata
The Onna-bugeisha are elite warriors adept with a variety of weaponry, including the bow and the naginata.
Onna-bugeisha archers
Onna-bugeisha are traditionally home-defenders, they safeguarded their residence and bearing appropriate arms to do so. This commonly called for archery being used from defensive positions to stave off marauders and invaders at a range.
Onna-bugeisha with naginata
The Naginata is a weapon iconic with the Onna-bugeisha. Both men and women used different Naginata, ō-naginata for the men and the ko-naginata for the women. Since the Naginata is naturally slower than the traditional Japanese sword, the ko-naginata’s blade was lessened to compensate the lesser height and upper body strength of a warrior woman to a male samurai.
