''Naginata'' were originally used by the samurai class of feudal Japan, as well as by ashigaru (foot soldiers) and sōhei (warrior monks).〔(''Martial Arts of the World: An Encyclopedia of History and Innovation'', Thomas A. Green, Joseph R. Svinth, ABC-CLIO, 2010 P.158 )〕 The naginata is the iconic weapon of the onna-bugeisha, a type of female warrior belonging to the Japanese nobility. Naginata for fighting men and warrior monks were ''ō-naginata''. The kind used by women was called ''ko-naginata''. Since the ''naginata'' with its pole is heavier and much slower than the Japanese sword, the blade of the ''ko-naginata'' was smaller than the battlefield ''ō-naginata'' in order for women to use them with greater dexterity and mainly for self-defense, rather than trying to put emphasis on physical strength and the battlefield like armoured male warriors would. ==Description== A ''naginata'' consists of a wooden pole with a curved single-edged blade on the end; it is similar to the Chinese guan dao〔(''Encyclopedia technical, historical, biographical and cultural martial arts of the Far East'', Authors 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naginata」の詳細全文を読む
