citation purposes but I didn't have access to Acrobat today...so the
new file is zipped"
now, for those of you who have a hard time imagining women wielding
halberds...I highly recommend you download this file because there
are some pretty interesting paintings showing women on a bridge
fighting gov. troops...same thing that happened in Aizu...if you
look carefully at other paintings you will see a bunch of women at
after a battle and there is ummm a human head on the table and the
woman is cleaning her sword...clearly The Last Samurai left out some
of these interesting details...
ofcourse I couldn't scan the whole book and some pages were huge
foldouts...but there are women EVERYWHERE in these battles...some
paintings easily contain 100 figures and in the mix are clearly
women based on their lips/clothing/hair...of all the images with
women...only one shows a woman actually being killed perhaps the
artist felt really sensitive about showing women being
slaughtered...for any of you who can read Japanese, there is a
painting of a castle surrounded by guys in traditional dress and the
castle is full of gov. troops...I wonder if this is of the siege of
Kumamoto castle/garrison
