I actually have the female samurai figure but she remains unpainted (Colonel Bill's Wargaming Depot) part of the Belt Fed Gaming range (Tome Gozen Samurai), I received her at the Broadside Wargaming Show 2014 as a prize for a Posties Rejects best in show game. The sheepdog....not a clue?
I think I know the painter but not a hundred percent sure though.........
Very usable figures........
Tomoe Gozen (巴 御前?) (1157?–1247), pronounced [tomo.e], was a late twelfth-century female samurai warrior (onna bugeisha), known for her bravery and strength.[1] She is believed to have fought in and survived the Genpei War (1180–1185).
Onna-bugeisha (女武芸者?) was a type of female warrior belonging to the Japanese nobility. Many women engaged in battle, commonly alongside samurai men. They were members of the bushi (samurai) class in feudal Japan and were trained in the use of weapons to protect their household, family, and honour in times of war. Significant icons such as Tomoe Gozen, Nakano Takeko, and Hōjō Masako are famous examples of onna bugeisha.
