Ramblings of a historical freak

[Togakure]

Kunoichi were purported to be masters (mistresses?) of deception (heh, but then again, aren't all females? Oops ... nvm). One can reason that a geisha would be a favorite and most effective masquerade for the female spy/assassin .... I just think of TW's "geisha" as a kunoichi in disguise, and it fixes the problem for me. They are not what they seem--oh so Japanese.
