- Japanese History
- Japanese Ideology

We will examine ninja and ninjutsu, iconic examples of Japanese culture, from an academic perspective. Based on ancient documents and ninjutsu manuals, we will discuss what kind of presence and role did ninja occupy in the history of Japan from the Nanboku-chō period to the Edo period, what kind of ninjutsu they acquired, and what kind of ethos drove their actions. In addition, by examining ninja works from the Edo period to the present, we will elucidate the formation and transition of the ninja image that differs from historical facts, and look at the appeal of ninja in creative works.
