Learn how not to exist! How to blow things up, castle entry and how to do it, secret Ninja weapons and how to use them, how to tie people in knots, useful everyday expressions, the Ninja costume - any colour as long as it's not black - how to control the minds of your enemies, invisibility and how to achieve it. You have been chosen to join the ranks of the legendary Ninja who work undercover to defend the land of Japan from its enemies. This secret manual from the Grand Master of the Iga School of Ninjutsu, servant to His Most Illustrious Highness Togugawa Ienari, Eleventh Shogun of Japan, will teach you everything you need to know before you begin your training. Meet famous Ninja and learn of their stunning achievements and the basics of training in martial arts (bujutsu). We love: 'Spiked torches are every Ninja's worst nightmare because they are thrown down by sentries to provide illumination when Ninja are suspected of climbing a wall. Hide in the shadows until they burn themselves out.' Here are traps and guides for the wary, how to navigate inner corridors and doors, hide like a raccoon dog or cover your tracks like a fox. Resemble a rock by crouching into a ball or disguise yourself as a Zen mendicant, especially if you can play the flute! A floating bridge is a really clever device. One Ninja swims across and drives the hooks into the ground on the far bank. Making successful escapes and causing chaos wherever you go, you will have great fun with this historical slightly tongue-in-cheek guide with brilliant often humorous archive Japanese illustrations throughout. Timeline and glossary, and map of Japan. 208pp.
