True Path of the Ninja is the first authoritative translation in
English of the Shoninki--the famous 17th-century ninjutsu manual.

Nakashima Atsumi, author of the most comprehensive modern Japanese
version of the Shoninki, thus making this English translation the
closest to the original scrolls. The information and insights found
in this translation are invaluable for understanding the skills,
techniques and mentality of the historical shinobi. Whether it
involved tips for surviving in the wild, advice on
intelligence-gathering techniques, or methods for creating chaos in
the enemy camp, this ninja book unveils secrets long lost. Along
with its practical applications, this book is an important guide to
the mental discipline that ninjas must have to ensure success in
accomplishing their mission. True Path of the Ninja covers the
following topics: What a ninja is and what equipment he needs The
skills of infiltration and information gathering How to disrupt and
distract the enemy How to be mentally prepared to carry out ninja
missions In addition to the translation of the Shoninki, this book
also includes the first written record of the oral tradition
"Defense Against a Ninja" taught by Otake Risuke, the revered
sensei of the legendary Katori Shinto Ryu school of swordsmanship.

teachings on how the samurai can protect himself from the cunning
wiles of a ninja. About this new edition: This second edition
