Lost in modern myth, false history and general misinterpretation,
the Ninja have been misrepresented for many years. More recently, a
desire for a more historical view of the ninja has become a popular
theme in the history/martial arts community and Antony Cummins is
the primary driving force behind that movement. In Search of the
Ninja is based upon the Historical Ninjutsu Research Team's
translations of the major ninja manuals and consists of genuinely
new material. Little historical research has been done on the Ninja
of Japan. Here for the first time the connection of the famous
Hattori family warriors with the Ninja is explained. The Samurai
versus Ninja myth is dispelled. The realities of Ninja skills are
analysed. How did a Ninja work underwater when mining castle walls?
How can a bird be used to set fire to the enemy's camp? The book
explores newly discovered connections to ancient Chinese manuals,
lost skills and the 'hidden' Zen philosophy that the Ninja
followed. In Search of the Ninja is the first and only historical
look at the shinobi of ancient Japan.
