About this product
Product Information
The Ninja were the secret agents and assassins of feudal Japan and they remain a subject of enduring fascination. They first emerged during the power struggles of 9th and 10th century Japan, in response to the increasing demand for spies, informants and even assassins, and they were used until the mid-1600s when they disappeared on account of a campaign to destroy them. This title provides an accurate and detailed account of the reality of the Ninja, detailing their daily life, training, hiring, combat use and secret operations; also covered are the Ninja's use and knowledge of poisons, medicines and charms.Product Identifiers

A great introduction to the history of the ninja
This is a very informative and evidently well-researched introduction to ninja including their historical context, training, methods and equipment, what can be gleaned from the (sparse) contemporary references to them and the methods the samurai and their other potential targets took to counter the dangers they posed. Including photographs of trained modern Japanese re-enactors and detailed sketches and diagrams this is a great place to start if you want to learn about these over-mythologised but very real and deadly warriors.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
