The Complete Ninja's Handbook[edit]
The Ninja Class[edit]
In Seventh Century Japan, Prince Shotoku Taishi won a war against an enemy named Moriya. The Prince's success rested on information brought to him by a spy named Otomo-no-Saijin, whom Shotoku Taishi honored with the name Shinobi, meaning "Stealer in". It is probably from this incident that the use of the term Shinobi has come to refer to highly trained, clan-based Japanese spies.
(In Japanese and Chinese, there may be two or more ways to pronounce th same written characters. An alternate pronunciation for Shinobi is Ninja.)
Japanese techniques of military intelligence, heavily influenced by espionage advisors from China and Sun Tzu's classic manual "The Art of War", developed over a period of several hundred years.
During the Kamakura era, from the late twelfth to early fourteenth centuries, many Samurai and their families fell out of favor with the court. Some of these families fled to distant Iga and Koga provinces and settled there in reduced circumstances to make their living as farmers.
