Onna-bugeisha – bsun ss14

e ideas for this collection sprung from an image of a woman in samurai armor.I was drawn to the contra- dictory semiotics of a delicate woman waging war: tough vs. delicate.Upon further investigation, I learned that the onno-bugeisha were female members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan.ey were very rare but important figures in ancient Japan, known to be fierce warriors and leaders, many made significant contributions to their people – a divergence from the demure image of feudal Japanese women I once had. My research further led me to Katsura, the imperial villa in Kyoto.e vast and immensely sacred com- plex is an architectural masterpiece that’s seen Japan’s evolution since the 1500s.e maze of serenity and asymmetrical composition juxtaposing nature with both ancient and modern structures moved me toward skewed geometrical manipulations that mixed material, color, and shape. rough research and exploring technique, I worked on deconstructing then reconstructing materials. Contemplation of the onno-bugeisha, called to mind a person’s two sides.e soſt and fragile always bal- ances to an extent with the hard and strong; the dark and heavy balances with light and soſt.is collection is an exploration of combining opposites, geometric textures and unexpected color composites.
