Japanese Modern Spiritual Power: Legacy of the Woman Warrior
About this ebook
Blending theology, mysticism, and martial imagery, authors Lisu Han and Vincent Froom guide readers through a journey of ancient codes and modern callings. From the battlefield to the monastery, from Kannon’s compassion to Mary’s courage, this book uncovers the hidden lineage of women who fought not for conquest, but for clarity, justice, and divine alignment.
More than history or theory, this is a manual for the spiritual feminine warrior—with meditations, daily rituals, poetic prayers, and warrior benedictions designed to integrate body, mind, and soul.
For those called to protect the sacred in a chaotic world, Blades of Grace is both sword and sanctuary. You do not need to wear armor to be a warrior. You need only to rise—with faith, fire, and fierce compassion.
About the author
Lisa Han
Lisa Han is a multidisciplinary artist, martial arts practitioner, and contemplative theologian whose work bridges the sacred and the embodied. Drawing from her Korean and Japanese heritage, Lisu’s spiritual path has been shaped by ancestral wisdom, Buddhist compassion, and Christian mysticism. She writes from the quiet intersection of blade and prayer, silence and resistance.
A survivor of generational trauma and a seeker of generational healing, Lisu walks the path of the modern onna-bugeisha—defending the sacred through presence, storytelling, and sacred ritual. When she is not teaching movement or leading retreats in the Pacific Northwest, she can be found walking forest trails, writing warrior prayers in candlelight, and raising her daughter in the way of courage and tenderness.
This is her debut as co-author.
Vincent Froom
Vincent Froom is a theologian, spiritual director, and author of more than a dozen works exploring faith, healing, and sacred resistance. Known for blending poetic insight with deep academic inquiry, his writings speak to those navigating the thresholds between spiritual tradition and modern transformation.
Vincent’s work often centers the voices of the forgotten, the fierce, and the faithful—from pet theology to postcolonial Christology, from queer liturgies to the mystical warrior’s path. His theological grounding draws from early church writings, samurai philosophy, liberation theology, and the silence of the desert mystics.
Vincent writes, teaches, and mentors out of British Columbia, where he co-leads a community dedicated to contemplative activism, spiritual resilience, and embodied faith.
