auxiliary information: The naginata is one of several varieties of traditionally made Japanese blades in the form of a pole weapon. Naginata were originally used by the samurai class of feudal Japan, as well as by ashigaru and s≈çhei. The naginata is the iconic weapon of the onna-bugeisha, a type of female warrior belonging to the Japanese upper class. Naginata for fighting men and s≈çhei were ≈ç-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 ≈ç-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.
