Shoes: Canvas No. 4 (Tomoe Gozen)

Introducing Tomoe Gozen, a 12th century warrior woman who slashed her way to samurai stardom.

It was not uncommon for women in feudal Japan to receive martial training. Between the 12th and 19th centuries, women of the samurai class were trained to use the sword, the naginata, the bow and arrow. Nevertheless, the role of these female warriors was primarily defensive in nature, known as onna bugeisha. A warrior worth a thousand man, Tomoe Gozen stands out as one of Japan's extraordinarily rare woman warriors who engaged in offensive battle, known as onna musha. 

Quite a choice to slay the office in style, don't ya think?

We use fabric paint, so that the colour sinks into the canvas (acrylic may work but might crack or peel). A layer of varnish will be applied to protect the shoes.
