ONNA-BUGEISHA

The Onna-Bugeisha were female samurai warriors from Japan's past, often shown with the makeup of a geisha while being fully prepared for battle in colorful armor. They were woman of strength and beauty, courage and ferocity, honor and dignity. 

​

The armor these women wore was intricate and each piece individually named, each with a meaning. Looks for this RTW collection represent each piece of the armor and the symbolism behind them.
