Shimura Tae Week 2020

Trope: Naginatas Are Feminine //  “Naginatas are battlefield weapons, while katanas are self defense weapons. They also found a place as a symbol of status for samurai's wives. A young noblewoman was trained in the naginata as a weapon to defend the home of her future husband, especially during the violent and treacherous Sengoku period. Naginatas were often part of a samurai woman's dowry, and a girl skilled in the naginata was considered quite the attractive bride to potential suitors. Being a submissive wife but a stalwart defender of the home was considered the embodiment of the Yamato Nadeshiko ideal. This association with nobility and femininity is the reason the naginata is a common weapon of choice for a Lady of War”

Shimura Tae Week Day 1 - Extra Prompt: Tears

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief...and of unspeakable love.” [X]
