Description
Warrior Princess in Japanese is 王女戦士 which is read ōjo senshi
王女戦士 (ōjo senshi): a warrior who is a princess.
王女戦士 is read the way 企業戦士, the corporate warrior, is read: the second word is the head. 戦士 is a soldier on the field and, today, anyone who fights on the front line for a cause. A Japanese reader takes it that way on sight.
The compound renders the English warrior princess, a title in 1873 and the subtitle of a 1995 television series: two old Japanese words, 王女, a king's daughter, and 戦士, a fighting man, set the other way round from the English, so that 戦士 is the head and she is a warrior who is a princess; it first appears in Japanese print in 1988, in a translated American novel, and remains rare, in no dictionary.
We want you to be as happy with the meaning as you are with Master Takase's art. To learn more, visit Philology of 王女戦士.

About Our Scrolls
Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase brushes your scroll by hand when you order it. Each scroll bears her red seal, 英利, and her signature.
The scrolls are 12 1/4" W × 43" H (31 × 109 cm) with real silk borders and Japanese paper that are layered so the scroll hangs straight and will not warp over time. The scrolls themselves are made by Sankō (株式会社三幸) in Gifu prefecture, which has been making high quality scrolls since 1947, and we have worked with Sankō for over two decades.
Eri Takase was born and raised in Osaka, Japan, and holds the rank of Shihan, the highest rank in Japanese calligraphy, from the Bokuteki-kai and the Bunka-shodo. About Master Takase
