Ninja: Japanese warriors most associated and stereotyped with spying, infiltration and assassination. They became legends in their time, supposedly capable of disappearing into thin air among other stealth-like abilities. Ninja also employed a variety of weapons and tricks using gunpowder. Smoke bombs and firecrackers were widely used to aid an escape or create a diversion for an attack. They used timed fuses to delay explosions. Ōzutsu (cannons) they constructed could be used to launch fiery sparks as well as projectiles at a target. Even land mines were constructed that used a mechanical fuse or a lit, oil-soaked string. Secrets of making desirable mixes of gunpowder were strictly guarded in many ninja clans. I present the second element of the Ninja: Fire. Each element represents a system of certain moods, stances, general ways of thinking and such, fire, for example, is an aggressive element, so the movement is forward and backward. ********************************************** Other than viewing the movie I mentioned on my last image I haven't seen any "real" Ninja movies since. I've seen several Samurai movies with a few Ninja's popping up, but that's about it. Do you know of any good Ninja movies you can recommend?
