☆ Martial Arts1-Women Warriors in Japan

今回から４回は日本の武道についてです。
多くの外国の方は、
日本の武道に興味があるようですね。

When most foreigners think about
warriors in Japan, they usually think
about male warriors, not female warriors.
But surprising news is that long ago
in Japan there were also women warriors!
Of course, the women warriors had
different roles to play in life, such as
being a 'Loyal Wife' warrior, etc.
Unfortunately, most of the female
warrior history was not recorded and
mainly male warrior history was recorded.
So women warriors are still a big mystery
to many foreigners who are interested
in martial arts.
