Got any Japanese lady knights?
I think so! I am the worst at tagging, but I do recall at least some Japan inspired ladies. Onna-bugeisha are super cool and badass. Here’s a picture of Tomoe Gozen, the most famous onna-bugeisha
Gotcha covered! My tags aren’t as consistent as I’d like them to be, but if you check the #lady samurai, #onna bugeisha, and #samurai armor tags, I’d bet you’ll find something of interest. My friend @wearesamurai should also have a ton of male or female Japanese knights as well.
