## Description

A deluxe, clothbound, slipcased edition of the classic Japanese text on ninja featuring a brilliant new translation. The Book of Ninja, or Bansenshukai, provides an essential guide to the art of ninjutsu. This abridged edition includes a carefully chosen selection of chapters from the original text with an introduction by the translator Alexander Bennett. It includes discussions of strategy, spycraft, secretive raids, codes and deception techniques, bringing to life the secretive world of medieval Japan. With an emphasis on the psychology, training and principles one must follow to become a successful ninja, it offers valuable lessons on self-development and discipline that can be applied to business and everyday modern life. Featuring authentic, full-colour illustrations throughout, this makes for a perfect gift for anyone interested in Japanese history.
