  3. In feudal Japan, women of the samurai class—known as onna‑bugeisha—were expected to manage households, raise children, oversee estates, and, if necessary, defend their families using weapons such as the naginata and the kaiken dagger, trained in tantojutsu for self-preservation and honor protection. Figures like Nakano Takeko, who led a female militia during the Boshin War, and Tomoe Gozen, a legendary warrior who commanded troops in the Genpei War, demonstrate this capacity for direct martial agency even in a gendered warrior culture.
