Ninja Attack! True Tales of Assassins, Samurai, and Outlaws introduces dozens of unforgettable real-life ninja straight out of the annals of Japanese history---many of whom are all but unknown outside of their home country. Ninja masters. Solo assassins and operatives. Femme fatales as deadly as they were sexy. Swordfighters out of legend. And the Shogun and warlords who commanded them. Each individual is profiled with a full-page, full color manga-style drawing, and a dossier brimming with top-secret information, including photos, anecdotes, and dramatic stories of the individuals in action. The book covers ninja clothing styles, the types of weapons that were used, ninja tools, ninja tricks of the trade, and the basics of the ninja diet. It also includes a do-it-yourself tour of ninja related spots in modern Tokyo.
“I WISH I’D HAD THIS BEAUTIFUL BOOK BACK IN 1983 WHEN KEVIN EASTMAN AND I CREATED THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES-IT WOULD HAVE HELPED A LOT! AT THE VERY LEAST, THE ‘NINJA STUFF’ IN OUR COMIC BOOK WOULD HAVE BEEN QUITE A BIT MORE AUTHENTIC.” ---PETER LAIRD, CO-CREATOR, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES

Surprisingly Good Little Book,

レビュー対象商品: (英文版) 外国人のための忍者常識マニュアル - Ninja Attack !: True Tales of Assassins, Samurai, and Outlaws (ペーパーバック)
Writing about Shinobi is fraught with dangers and writers are beset, on all sides by enemies; from ninpo revisionists running around in black Gi, waving their sacred scrolls over their heads to hordes of respectable historians hissing that shinobi did not exist anyway and doing their best to pretend they can't hear you.It is very rare to find a book that can walk the right path, and this one does it wonderfully well. Never taking itself too seriously, and demonstrating the comic qualities of 'Yokkai Attack', the authors nevertheless present the main myths and known facts about the various worlds of the shinobi (historical, mythological, filmic and modern revisionist) with charm and genuine affection.
