| Apr 24, 2012 at 21:47 | comment | added | Krazer | I was under the impression that (traditional) onna kengeki (女剣劇, lit. women sword theater) was a form of chambara drama (a form of martial arts drama) and taishu engeki (popular theater known for cross-dressing) derived from skinkokugeki (lit. new national theater), known for realistic sword fighting and sword play. Women either dressed up and took on male roles (wielded swords) or took on female roles (wielding swords), fight other male characters (usually played by women). Somewhere down the line it might have been "eroticized" as to increase appeal. | |
