Ahhh, why are there no good photos of Mlain Crepin as Annika Bengtzon!? I love her 90’s look-white tee, black pullovers, many multicolored bracelets, and simple necklaces. And her smokey eyes (khol).
A rare vintage photograph of an onna-bugeisha, one of the female warriors of the upper social classes in feudal Japan.
Often mistakenly referred to as “female samurai”, female warriors have a long history in Japan, beginning long before samurai emerged as a warrior class.
