I saw a show on TLC a while ago on martial arts and such and there was a part on the naginata. It said that during samurai era, the naginata is what the women ( i presume, samurai) learned to defend the castle while the men were away. The show also stated that today it is still viewed primarily as a womens weapon in japan.... what gives?
