Boss(  'ω') “Speaking of Umi-Chan... Japanese beauty... I mean, 大和撫子(Yamato Nadeshiko) is the best described word for her, right?”

Boss(  'ω') “Yamato Nadeshiko is an eulogistic name in which we use a flower ‘Nadeshiko’, to resemble Japanese women’s pure, neat and clean beauty. It’s a collective term for beautiful women; strong and elegant Japanese women.”

Boss(  'ω') “Reviewing these characters, the definition of Yamato Nadeshiko is rather vague, don’t you think? It’s a personal prospective to decide who has more potentials of being ‘elegant, beautiful and strong’ so we really don’t have a definite standard, right? (To me, most characters in Kancolle are classified as Yamato Nadeshiko...)”

Saori(σゝ∀・)σ “In other words, everybody has a different recognition of calling characters ‘Yamato Nadeshiko’, huh? That means if you think a certain character is strong, beautiful and elegant, then she’s your Yamato Nadeshiko.”

Boss(  'ω') “But isn’t that... a little vague for this feature article?”
