But I must admit that much of what | know of ninjutsu, the an of the ninja, has come from meeting vinichi Kawakami, vrho's known as the “last ninja." Kawakami is the 21st Bando of the Koka Ninja Sect, and even today he follows the practices passed down to him through the many generations. These include @ daily five-hour regimen of mental and physical exercises, and a strict ninja diet, which has at Its core the soybean curd, tofu. H's with hirn In mind that | want to teach the world what it reaily meant to be a ninja. To do this, | organize ninja shows and workshops for Kurondo, and in the course of my work have toured Singapore, China and Australia. On these travels | have often been asked such questions as, “What dan are ninja?" it seems that outside Japan, the way of the ninja is thought to be a form of martial art, something like karate or judo. But ninja have no dan of level, and there are, unfortunately, no black or brown belts. What | hope to do in this introduction is. to illustrate the many facets of the ninja tradition. Although the actual beginnings of ninjutsu have been last in time, let's try and begin at the roots. The carliest records we have can be found in the 6th cen- tury text, Ninjutsu Hisho Ogi-den, which describes a man known a3 Otemeno Hosori. Ho is believed to have served the legendary figure Shotoku Taishi, Who was said to possess, among other talents, the ability t6 hear and answer questions simultaneously from ton different people. itis thought thal the ninja Otomone Hoseri in fact found out the questions beforehand and prepared the answers for his "gift ed master “The ninja would have to wait almost another 1,000 years before they gained the notoriety that they have today. In the 15th century, Japan was thrown into turbulence when military factions across the country Tose up against the emperor, ushering In nearly @ ‘century of wars that eame te be known as the ork of Warring States, ‘Although the tenets of ninjutsu changed little over the centuries, the ninja's work varied considerably depending en the period. To clearly understand the breadth of these assignments, we must look at the Warring States era. It was then that the practices of hinjutsis became clearly defined, and when the ninja, ‘as a distinct force alongside troops in the field, were most active. Each daimya, or feudal lord, retained @ unit of 40 to $0 ninja, although in some cases the number reached as high as 200. According to the task at hand, the required number of men would be called up and sent out before battle to infiltrate enemy lines, spread false rumors, and establish links with possibie turn-coats. When fighting broke aut, the ninja took to arson, setting ablaze the enemy's castles and fortifications. if a castle stubbomly resisted this onslaught, they would burrow under- neath and then charge in to wreak havoc. On these escapades, they worked mostly in groups, risking their lives in daredevil feats which we'd associate today with elite units like the Green Berets. Their work was on a coniract basis, and although the money was good, when the battle was over they retumed to their quiet village lives, raising families and tending the fields. With the onset of the Edo ert, peace was finally restored. Not surprisingly, this cessation of host ties wasn't particularly welcomed by the ninja -- con- stant war was a lucrative source of income. Ta sur- vive, many became spies for the Bakufis govemment or bodyguards to the country's daimyo, an image that persists in TV dramas and movies to this day. But Japan was changing, and the ninja still had their part to play, As firearms became commonplace, Sun-toting ninja squads ware established. WhenWithout Sound, Without Smell, Without Name - The Great Ninja in the Shadows of History Commodore Perry arrived in 1859, the ninla were Sent in to pry Inside his ship, Records of what they found survive today. The ninja, though a part of the samurai, were in the lowest class, In the warrior Glass, whore name meant overything, the ninja were Jeoked down upon a5 "those without sound, without ‘smell, without name." As this snub suggests, the finja, whose secret activities were instrumental in hanging the course of Japanese history, would remain forever in the shadows, ‘The start of the Mo era (1868) Is said to mark the ‘dawn ef Japan's modem period, The new gover- ‘mont tumed its attention to the military, creating & ‘rational army to counter the rising European powers Jn Asia. Not surprisingly, ita officer ranks were staffed mostly by former samursi, who despised the fina for thelr spying and diny work, Unimately, the ‘ninja lost their place in society. Finding lite ta hola thom to the cities, the ninja melted back into the countryside, returning to their villages where many became involved in local police work. Those who had mastered the use of gunpowder now put their skills to use making fireworks, while others with knowledge of medicine became doctors and jphar= macists. Porhaps you have heard of the */ga Sect" or "Koka Sect." These are the names of schools in nin- (jutsu. As 'm a student of the iga Sect, much of what {have introduced here is iga ninjutsu. However, the Koka Sect is equally weil known, both sects having been active during the Warring States era. New ects, stich as Nakagawa, Negoro and Hojo, only began to appear during the Edo ra, vihen the ninja followed their daimyo masters into the Japanese hin terland. The roots of Iga and Koka are basically the seme, but 5 the ninja disappeared, each chose to preserve different parts of niniutsu. Infitrating enemy lines and spying was one thing, but no ninja story would be complete without rien By Hiromitsu Kuroi F tioning Aunoichi, the fomals ninja, The name itself deserves an explanation. "Ku." in Japanese, means "nine," and “ichi* means *one." According to ancient Chinese texts, female spies were known as "kuichi,’ the "ku" in this case indicating the nine orifices ~ eyes, nostrils, mouth, etc -- of the body. Women have one extra, thus, when they were Drought inte service this became "kunoichi" The ninja werked in the shadows, often with the support of Kumaichi, Her job, white not always obvious, was vital, As maids working in kitchens at enamy castles, they could col- lect valuable information that would enable their ninja brothers to gain access. They could act as Guides letting the ninja into the castle and leaging tham to their prey. And, when necessary, they could ut thelr sexual charms to use in the gathering of mtetigenea, And what about ninjutsu itself? Ast have explained, in the course.of their work, the ninja gam- bled with their ives. But ft meant little to their mas ters if they didn't return alive, Because of this, the emphasis in ninjutsy was not on fighting, But sur- vival The risks were mostly calculated -- to kill their wictin, finja would choose poison over armed com- at whore possible. Constant training of the body and ming, eating well, maintaining gaod health, understanding hygiene, and having = thorough. knowledge of medicinal plants; these were the pres cepts of minjutsu. When | consider how convenient acience and technology have made our lives today, 1 can't help but also fool wo have lost a certain under- Standing of essential human abilities. The ninja strove not only for physical wellbeing, but for mental strength and an intellectust understanding of sur- vival. Although there is much in ninjutsu that is physi= cally dangerous, there Is also much that, given the stressful society we live in, we could learn trom.ee teeth on theay Loewe jm) VeI THE BASICS A few things a ninja needs before heading over the palace walls.When we think of the ninja stalking their victim at night, we imagine them dressed all in black, In fact, dark blue was the first colar of choice.

The activities of certain animals, such as the dawn chorus, could also serve 5 something of a clack. The ever resource- ful ninja, however, had their own system, known as the “Gat's Eye Clock." ate Weather condition was an Important factor for the ninja, who could turn the wine or rain to their advantage. Setting a castle on fire, for example, was best achieved when the wind was strong. When spying on seme- body, however, tho ninja prayed for rain, which would muffle any sound they made. Twinkling stars means rain is on its way. if the mountains appear closer than usual, rain is sure to follow. 3 The moon's halo says rain is imminent. 4. Kites fying in downward circles suggest the following day will be wet. 5. When kites fly in ascending circles, the next day will be sunny. &. Crows washing themselves in water means it's going to rain, When water droplets appear on spider webs, the following day will be clear.Although a compass can easily tell which direction is which, being caught with one was too much for the ninja to risk.
