Based on more than a decade of research and translation of authentic Japanese texts, including many published in English for the first time, this comprehensive study explores the origins, history, philosophy and martial traditions of the ninja. Drawing on historical chronicles, scrolls and original sources, it presents one of the most authoritative accounts of ninjutsu available in English.
For those who train in ninjutsu, for other martial art practitioners, for historians, and for anyone with an interest in Japanese feudal history or Japanese martial arts, The Ninja: The Secret History of Ninjutsu shines a light on this enigmatic subject.
