- La Verdad Historica Sobre El Ninjutsu
173,95 kr. Perdidos entre mitos modernos, historias falsas en interpretaciones erróneas, los Ninja han sido contemplados de forma equivocada durante muchos años. En los últimos años ha surgido un gran movimiento que desea tener una visión históricamente correcta sobre los ninja dentro de los círculos de historiadores y artistas marciales. Antony Cummins está siendo la principal fuerza que está liderando este movimiento. La búsqueda del Ninja está basado en las traducciones que el equipo Historical Ninjutsu Team ha realizado de los principales manuscritos y manuales ninja, consistiendo en unos conocimientos totalmente novedosos. Muy poca investigación realmente histórica se ha realizado sobre la figura de los Ninja japoneses. Así en este libro se desvela por vez primera la relación entre los famosos guerreros de la familia Hattori con los Ninja y el falso mito del Ninja como enemigo del Samurai queda en evidencia, analizándose en profundidad las destrezas del Ninja. ¿Cómo trabajaban los Ninja debajo del agua mientras se preparaban para demoler las murallas de un castillo? ¿Cómo una guarnición era drogada hasta perder el conocimiento? Este libro va a explorar también las diferentes conexiones entre los manuales chinos y los Ninja japoneses, muchos tipos de destrezas y la filosofía "oculta" que los Ninja seguían. Y en cierta manera la verdad va a ser más increíble que la propia fantasía. Los Ninja no eran un mito, eran realmente una parte fundamental de la maquinaria militar de los "Señores de la Guerra" japoneses durante muchos siglos, siendo sus destrezas muy estimadas y bien pagadas en todo el país. La búsqueda del Ninja es el primer y único libro centrado únicamente en una visión histórica de los shinobi del Japón de la antigüedad.
