    Default Research question - English language references

    I'm looking for reliable references for 2 things:

    The naginata moving off the battlefield and becoming a household weapon used by women.

    Samurai class women training in various arts - not just the proper way to commit suicide...

    Try assorted articles by Ellis Amdur. Online, the most accessible is probably http://www.koryubooks.com/library/wwj1.html .
