Description: Ninja Studies Compendium Book Ninjutsu History University of Tokyo Press New from JAPANDescriptionNEW Ninja and ninjutsu may have been taken up as an interdisciplinary discipline for the first time -- Tetsuo OWADA (Historian) I wanted to read it before I wrote my novel. The Ninja Ninja, who manipulate military strategies, codes and even the most advanced science of the time to hide in plain sight in history, and are used as the subject of manga, novels and films, are attracting attention not only in Japan but also from abroad. This is the definitive book on ninja research, covering everything from the real to the imaginary ninja. Main contentsReview: ‘What is Ninja Studies’ (Yuji Yamada) Part I.
