Ninja Tools of the Bansenshukai: A Guide to Over 100 Hidden Weapons and Historical Devices: Understanding the Design, Use, and Purpose of Shinobi Equipment from Japanese Manuals


Overview

if you want to learn about the hidden tools and methods of the historical ninja, then keep reading... For nearly 350 years, the ninja operated in the shadows of Japan's feudal era, but their most complete guide was written during a time of peace. The great manual compiled in the 1600s was meant to preserve the arts of infiltration, espionage, and survival for future generations. This knowledge reveals a world far beyond the popular myths, focusing on practical ingenuity and adaptability. It brought ingenious solutions to problems of entry, intelligence gathering, and misdirection, but this innovation was born from a life of constant danger and immense pressure. The tools of the ninja were not confined to a single region. In fact, the methods were developed across different areas known for their unique skills. It is believed that many of the devices were not custom-made, but were clever adaptations of everyday objects available to farmers, travelers, and monks. The oldest principles emphasized using the mind first, with physical tools serving as a last resort. In this guide to the equipment from the historical manuals, you will discover topics such as The core philosophy and historical context that shaped the ninja's approach to their work The art of entry, from climbing tools and grappling hooks to devices for breaking through barriers Tools of illusion, including sight removers, auditory signals, and methods for creating distractions The practical arsenal, from versatile blades and throwing projectiles to close-quarters weapons The use of fire and water, including pyrotechnics for distraction and unique equipment for aquatic movement The spy's toolkit for intelligence gathering, secret communication, and eavesdropping Medicine and survival, covering field remedies, stamina foods, and the use of natural materials The art of improvisation, showing how common objects were repurposed for extraordinary uses The craft of making and maintaining the specialized equipment The lasting legacy of these methods and their connection to modern practices So if you want to learn more about the historical tools of the ninja, get this book today.
