Ninja as the superman doesn't exist.
However, "Nin-jutsu" as martial arts exists.
It is military arts of the concentration of wisdom of a Japanese race who
includes even "Plot", "Firearms", "Medicine",
"Arms", "Martial art", and "Philosophy".A
lot of Japanese confuse Ninjutsu in the movie with Ninjutsu of martial
arts. It is likely to be able to say almost. So if Dojo of Ninja appears in Japan, the Japanese will think joke or
actor's training school. |

Ninja is called alias "Shinobi". Actually, "Shinobi"
is historically more correct. In this, Japanese words "Shinobi"+"kom"
is an etymology. The meaning is "Person who invades secretly. "The
special skill group named Ninja(Shinobi) existed until the age of Samurai
in the 19th first half of the century. Their work is espionage. It is "Spy"
said now. Therefore, Ninja doesn't combat. It is time when fight by Ninja
was cornered by the enemy.
It was only a case with the possibility of getting away.In many cases,
he might have committed suicide.
Ninja acquired various knowledge to conduct espionage alone. They are military
arts, gunpowders, pharmacologies, chemistries, physicss, measurements,
disguises, geographies, and languages, etc.A left picture is characters
of Ninja Manga when I am a child (the 1960's). They moved like the "Superman".
They disappeared. They controlled the wind. They moved in the air with
a big kite. They revived though they died. They were indeed absurd.
Lets think .
Man cannot do movement to transcend physics.
Ninja in the movie and or the Manga is a fantasy that man's wish invented.

In Europe and America, there seem to be a lot of Ninja Dojo. I think that
the mania in Europe and America is the one that various military arts was
synthesized and created.
Of course, the technique and the knowledge of old Ninja are being maintained
to Japan by some people.
And, there is a little person who is teaching it as ancient martial arts,
too.
However, even if they are learnt, you cannot become like Ninja that appears
in the movie and Manga.
By the way,a right photograph is historically accurate Ninjya. (woman) |
