This is the English translation of written Japanese documents describing the training of Shinobi or Ninja. It is pretty interesting and dispels a lot of the myths of the Ninja.

I'm on the fence with this one. It wasn't as fun as the Japanese Tattoos book from the same publisher but it was very interesting. It takes a real manuscript with teachings and kind of gives the reality of what a ninja was. It dispells a lot of myths, honestly it seems like they were just highly trained spies which almost makes them more fascinating! At the same time it can be a bit dry, so fair warning!
