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.

Guys, this isn’t an Onna-Bugeisha. The source clearly states:
Unknown photographer. Portraits of Japanese Kabuki actors and geisha. 1870s.
I would say in all likelihood this person is not a trained soldier at all, and the armor is totally decorative.
