Ninjutsu has been variously described as the â€œart of sneaking in,â€ the â€œart of stealthâ€ and even the â€œart of invisibility,â€ and this book reveals the ninjaâ€™s way of life that few outside of Japan have experienced. Ninja were the cloak-and-dagger artists of Japanâ€™s feudal era, from the late 13th century to the early 17th century. Japanese youths were trained within the Iga and Koga ninja networks, which were run like armed camps and turned out only espionage agents. Iga and Koga youths were born ninja and died ninjaâ€”there was no other way of life open to them. They were thus able to devote all their time to training, and they were considered full-fledged ninja when they were still in their teens.
