Onna-Bugeisha, a female martial artist, are members of the samurai class. Noblewomen trained to fight for their homes, their honour and their family. These women were not ornaments; they were as dangerous as their male counterparts, amply able to defend their homes and property while the armies were away on campaign. Historically Onna-Bugeisha have been associated with the Naginata and Kaiken as fighting weapons; one very long and one very short! That is not to say they were limited to those weapons and yumi, yari, katana and teppo all feature in an Onna-Bugeisha’s armoury.
Onna-Bugeisha have existed as long as there have been people on the Japanese archipelago although not named as such until much later. The earliest ones being as much myth as a legend, including the very real Empress Jingū (169-269 AD), widow of the Emperor Chūai. She is purported to have led an invasion of Korea which was known for its success without any casualties. Living to 100 years old she is still honoured today and often held as an example of everything the Onna-Bugeisha symbolise.
The warlord studio has worked hard to bring you these stunning and intricately detailed models, perhaps some of the best we have made!
The box set contains:
- 7 exquisite metal Onna-Bugeisha models
- cards to play Test Of Honour

Bis auf links oben finde ich alle toll. Der links oben würde ich mit GS verändern, da traditionell Grundsätzlich die linke Seite des Kimono über der rechten Seite liegt, so wie bei den anderen.
Auch wenn Sie, anders als die anderen, Linkshänderin ist? 🙂
Dafür gibt es spezielle Bedienstete, die beim Ankleiden helfen, alleine klappt das nicht. Schon gar nicht bei Frauenkimonos.
Das hängt ganz vom Kimono ab, ob es möglich ist den alleine anzulegen. Auch beim Frauenkimono. Yukata sind da kein Problem und auch andere. Es gibt da einige Japanische Videos die erklären, wie man die Dinger alleine anzieht.
Ansonsten gibt es kein Unterschied ob weiblich, männlich, rechts- oder linkshändig.
Doch, es gibt einen Unterschied. Wenn die Person tot ist, wird die rechte Seite über die linke gelegt.
Vielleicht will das Mädel ja eine Aussage treffen … 😉
Insgesamt gesehen gefallen mir die Minis gut. Da denke ich wirklich drüber nach.
Ich denke das sie sich in dem Fall bereits vor der Schlacht um ihre Mitstreiter sorgen machen muß. Die Japaner sind was Tote und Geister angeht, ziemlich empfindlich. Es ist ein ganz großes Tabu.
