 * "The gentle yet strong, nurturing yet uncompromising Yamato Nadeshiko is one of the ideal forms of the Japanese woman that has endured since antiquity. This is a more mature character than the others, who is made beautiful by the weight of a few additional years of experience resting on her shoulders. The natural inclination of the moetic observer is toward regression to a childlike state, succombing [sic] to the temptation of ministration at her capable hands. " (21) /

 * "With the arrival of the Yamato Nadeshiko label, our sweet voice character, once a free-standing curiosity with an unusual voice, now finds herself interpolated into an elaborate structure in which she is contrasted with her younger, cuter peers, and connected to ancient female archetypes of the ideal woman. " (22)
 * in studying fans of this archetype: "Summary of fan perception. This examination of character-focused and seiyuu-focused fan discourse has demonstrated the prominent role of sweet voice in fan perceptions of Yamato Nadeshiko characters. These characters are older than the typically attractive female character type in anime, and their appeal lies in their sexual maturity and their embodiment of the ideal traditional Japanese woman who will care for you and yet be subservient to you" (24)
 * "The notion of Yamato Nadeshiko had its heyday in twentieth-century imperialist Japan, in which, in contrast with previous eras, Japanese women were touted as the anchors of the home and ‘mothers of the nation’, rather than viewed simply as inferior to men" (21)

 * "Through the years, it has been used in many novels, manga, anime, dramas, movies, and so on, to refer to someone who embodies the features considered traditionally ideal for Japanese women, such as modesty, gentleness, gracefulness and a strong spirit. Sometimes it has also been used to highlight the gap between such ideal femininity and some of the contemporary Japanese women who are considered to be self-centred and excessively assertive—in other words, overly Westernised"

 * Discusses the significance of the Japan women's national football team being named Nadeshiko Japan as well as how this idealized identity relates to and clashes with female athleticism.
 * "Deriving from the expression yamato nadeshiko, nadeshiko deeply resonates with an idealized Japanese womanhood connected to nationalism, invoking qualities of elegance and obedience (Endo, 2012). Literally, nadeshiko refers to dianthus superbus, a pink flower, whereas yamato is the old name for Japan."
 * "“Volleyball is not about femininity; it is about skill” observes Otomo (2007), protesting against Japanese media representations of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics winning women’s volleyball team as “virtuous women” (p. 120). Nearly 50 years later, the Japan women’s soccer team, more affectionately dubbed “Nadeshiko Japan,” emerged champions at the 2011 FIFA World Cup, only to find the media still as obsessed with “femininity” or lack thereof."
