There has never been a book like this - not only in Russia, but in any of the European languages. This is the only complete encyclopedia of ninjas, based on authentic Japanese sources. Everything about the martial art of ninjutsu and the legendary invisible warriors, known as "night demons" (the word "shinobi," which is a synonym for "ninja," translates from Japanese as "scout-saboteur"). The origin of the ninja and the genesis of their unique combat skills, the formation and flourishing of ninjutsu during the era of civil wars and its decline under the shogunate, the "code of honor" and the secrets of mastery, the greatest "schools" and "clans" of ninjas, their weapons and equipment, firearms and espionage devices, medicines and poisons - there are no secrets for this encyclopedia! It has nothing to do with those cheap sensations, advertising myths, and movie clichés that are fed to the inexperienced public. This is a serious professional study based on a colossal amount of information gathered by the author during his trips to Japan, in medieval "gunkimono" (military tales) where detailed descriptions of spy operations can be found, in diaries and orders of military leaders, genealogies of famous ninja families, and authentic manuals and instructions passed down through generations for hundreds of years.
