The Shogunate | The Truth About Female Samurai @TheShogunate | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The image of "Female Samurai" has risen a lot over the years but were there really female warriors in premodern Japan or is this just a romanticism of the times? The answer is a bit more complicated.
This video is done in collaboration with channels "Samurai and Ninja History", "Sengoku Studies戦国研究", and "Samurai Traditions of the Tada Genji" Check out their Female Samurai videos!
(I'm the first to release my video this month so I will fill in these videos as they are released!)
