In recent times, samurai have been made famous by movies, manga, video games, even fashion. They've become macho icons, but that's only part of the story. Some samurai, particularly those who remained steadfast in the clan household, were women. Some were even warriors.

Join me on my journey as I explore samurai practices, culture and myth, delving into a world full of nature worship, Zen Buddhism, Shinto, martial arts, meditation, poetry and pilgrimage.

All the while, I discover more about my own Japanese and samurai heritage, which my late mother, Akemi, had been so proud of. I also share stories of contemporary samurai-spirited women who have fought, survived and thrived against the odds.

The go-to Japanese specialist Christopher Harding has said this about my book:
‘An unexpectedly tender book: part search for the lost women of samurai history, part love letter to a remarkable mother. Rimika Tanaka writes with warmth and candour about grief, belonging and the courage it takes to build a life between cultures. Rich in wisdom and hope for bicultural families, and full of interest and surprise for everyone.’

I'm the author Rimika Tanaka @rimi_monster. In my book, The Way of the Samurai Women, readers will find examples of inspirational samurai women and a way to live more fully in our busy modern lives.

I had my book launch for The Way of the Samurai Women last week at @stanfordstravel bookshop. It was a blast 💥 My friends, family & guests all came out in force to show love and support. I am eternally grateful.

My intro. talk was guided by my friend Eloise Stevens, who made the BBC radio documentary about me writing the book called ‘Searching for my Samurai Mother’ (still available on BBC Sounds). It was the perfect way for people to learn about my book. My process of research: going to meet women masters of martial arts and ancient practices, which the samurai would have done. How I re-connected with my own Japanese & samurai heritage through exploring these disciplines, and came to comprehend more about my late mother, Akemi, who was a teacher of Japanese language & culture. It’s been a journey. Ongoing, still.

Now that the book is out there 🌏 If any of you read it, then please review it on any of these sites, as it helps me rise up in rankings: Amazon, Goodreads, Waterstones. I won’t read the reviews, so you can be as honest as you like. Probs better for my mental health anyway. Thank you again for all the support.

In recent times, samurai have been made famous by movies, manga, video games, even fashion. They've become macho icons, but that's only part of the story. Some samurai, particularly those who remained steadfast in the clan household, were women. Some were even warriors.

Come along with me on my journey as I explore samurai practices, culture and myth. I delve into the unique samurai world influenced by nature worship, Zen, Shinto-Buddhism, martial arts, meditation, theatre, poetry, calligraphy and pilgrimage.

All the while I discover more about my Japanese heritage, and get to know my late mother better, who was, in spirit a samurai woman.

I'm the author Rimika Tanaka @rimi_monster. In my book, The Way of the Samurai Women, readers will find examples of historical samurai women, alongside some contemporary femmes who still possess the samurai-spirit. ⚔

Available to preorder from link in bio.
Coming out on 24 September 2026
