Iga and Koka Ninja Skills: The Secret Shinobi Scrolls of Chikamatsu Shigenori
Description
The secret manuals of the oral tradition of the Iga and Koka Ninja, feared and
respected across Japan for centuries—now in paperbackThrough patient and
scholarly detective work, Antony Cummins and the Historical Ninjutsu Research
Team have unearthed a Shinobi treasure. The 18th-century military historian
Chikamatsu recorded the oral traditions of the Ninja and passed on those
skills in lectures he gave at his Renpeido school of war in Owari domain
during the early 1700s. Chikamatsu wrote specifically about the Shinobi of Iga
and Koka, regions from which warriors were hired all over the land in the days
of war. The lost scrolls are filled with unknown Shinobi teachings, skills
that include infiltration, assassination, explosives, magic, and commando
tactics, including an in depth commentary on Sun Tzu’s famous 13th chapter,
“The Use of Spies.” Read more
