Ninja is one of Japanese typical icons and so is Samurai. Some people consider them as mythical beings even in Japan, however, they existed at least before according to Musashi Ninja Clan, their descendents. More amazingly, they provide the experience and the culture of their ancestors Ninja and Samurai.
What’s Ninja?
First of all, it is important to know what Ninja is, so the following is its definition they refer to on their website.
From the end of the 16th century, our clan developed the system of Onmitsu (Tokugawa Ninja.) Some of our ancestors were Samurai generalists with expertise in matters of stealth and combat. Some were specialists, becoming adept at social skills, magic, or interaction with nature. Some were artists, scholars, priests, wrestlers or weaponsmiths who worked to keep law and order and peace of the country. All sought to maintain “balance” or peace of mind in life to survive, and trained themselves to heighten their awareness and perseverence.
