Book excerpt: For more than 700 years Japan was dominated by a military caste-the samurai. To the Western mind these fearsome warriors-samurai, the masterless ronin, and the assassin ninja-have always been a source of mystery and wonder, combining the idealism of chivalry with military fanaticism. THE WAYS OF THE SAMURAI digs beneath the myth and reveals a truth even more amazing about the men who practiced a discipline drawn from Zen and Confucian ethics-bushido, the way of the warrior.

Download or read book Samurai and Ninja written by Antony Cummins and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths of the noble Samurai and the sinister Ninja are filled with romantic fantasy and fallacy. Samurai and Ninja expert Antony Cummins shatters the myths and exposes the true nature of these very real—and very lethal—medieval Japanese warriors. The Samurai and Ninja were in fact brutal killing machines trained in torture and soaked in machismo. Many were skilled horsemen and sword-fighting specialists, while others were masters of deception and sabotage. Some fought for loyalty, others for personal gain. What these warriors all shared in common was their unflinching personal bravery, skill and brutality. In Samurai and Ninja, Cummins separates myth from reality and shows why the Japanese were the greatest warriors of all time: He describes the Samurai and the Ninja as they really were in earlier times when battles raged across Japan—not in later times when war became obsolete and Japanese warriors became philosophers, scholars and courtiers. He describes the social context of the day and the feudal world into which the warriors were trained to fight and die for their lords. He exposes the essentially brutal nature of warfare in medieval Japan. This book is illuminated by many rare Japanese manuscripts and texts which are translated into English for the very first time.

Book excerpt: Ninjutsu is the most renowned and misunderstood of all martial arts. The long history of ninjutstu is often murky; surrounded by mystery and legend. Here, for the first time, is an in-depth, factual look at the entire art of ninjutsu, including emergence of the ninja warriors and philosophy in feudal Japan; detailed historical events; its context in the development of other schools of martial arts; and the philosophies and exercises of the school today. Based on more than ten years of study and translation of authentic Japanese texts, including many that have never before been translated, this is the most comprehensive and accurate study on the art of ninjutsu ever written outside of Japan. This ninja book includes studies of ninjutsu history, philosophy, wisdom, and presents a wide range of information from authors, historians, chronicles and scrolls in order to foster a deep understanding of this "shadowy" art. For those who train in ninjutsu, for other martial art practitioners, for historians, and for anyone with an interest in Japanese feudal history or Japanese martial arts, The Ninja: Ancient Shadow Warriors of Japan shines a light on this enigmatic subject.

Download or read book Warriors of Medieval Japan written by Stephen Turnbull and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2005-07-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combines material previously published as Warrior 29: Ashigaru 1467-1649, Warrior 64: Ninja AD 1460-1650, Warrior 70: Japanese Warrior Monks AD 949-1603, with a new section on Samurai, new images, and a new introduction and conclusion. The samurai remain the best known warriors of medieval Japan, but they were by no means the only fighting elite. There were the ashigaru, who were first recruited to swell army numbers but later became a vital part of any samurai force. Trained to protect their monasteries, warrior monks were formidable enemies, mastering a range of martial traditions. Finally, the Ninja catered to an increasing demand for spies, informants and sometimes assassins, developing the arts of armed and unarmed combat and explosives.

Download or read book Most Fierce Ruthless Warriors That Shaped History: Shinobi Ninja written by Adrian Ambrose and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infiltration, ambush, assassination, and espionage are the trademarks of the ninja. Their techniques are precise, timed, and their skills are that of legends. The mystery and mystique that surround the ninja have been popularized in Hollywood for decades. Their skills force us to bend our beliefs on what we believe is humanly possible. To their enemy they are ghosts. They make a kill before their presence is even known and disappear while the body hits the ground. They move in silence and stealth as individuals or in small teams. They are now facing a foe who intends to exterminate them. If they are to avoid extinction they will need to muster all their skills and talents to ensure their continued existence. This is the incredibly true story of the Shinobi Ninjas of Iga and their extraordinary rise to become an irreplaceable force in the Japanese war machine.Interview With the AuthorQ - So, what makes your new series, Most Fierce Ruthless Warriors That Shaped History, special?A - Honestly, it is a mix of things. I love diving deep into history and the lesser known stories of those who shaped history. I'm not referring to the popular historical figures like Genghis Kahn, Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, or Julius Caesar. I mean the history regarding them is awesome stuff but this series makes a conscious effort to go beyond the typical textbook history.In this series you get Ancient Assassins and the birth of terrorism, ancient Germanic Ghost Warriors and Rome's greatest defeat, Viking Berserkers and the invasion of England, and Viking Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire. We even cover the great Eagle Warriors of the Aztec Empire and Kamehameha's Hawaiian Koa warriors, two cultures that were forced to face overwhelming odds when they encountered European forces for the first time. The history is fascinating; it goes into depth regarding how the cultures viewed the Europeans as gods and the recorded omens in their history that foretold the arrival of these strange forces. This series tells the histories of the greatest and most elite warriors throughout the world and history.Q - What order should I read the series in?A - Well that's another awesome part of this series. Each one stands independently. I did this so my readers could pick and choose the stories that interest them most or they can buy the entire volume and get all five stories for considerably less than purchasing them individually. However, two of the stories are connected even though they can both be read independently. The historical tales on the Varangian Guard and the Viking Berserkers respectively both evolve around Harald Hardrada. In this case they should be read in their respective order if the reader chooses to purchase both. But it is laid out in Volume 1 with that in mind.Q - So why should readers give your books a go?A - Simply put they're exciting reads. Most are short reads, 30-40 pages, and they are written in the present tense. As you read these books you really feel as though you're there watching the Shinobi appear from the fog and attack the Samurai, or the Germanic Ghost Warrior appear from the darkness and strike into the Roman legions, or feel the true terror that the Christian monks felt right before they were slaughtered by the Viking Berserkers. History is my passion and that translates in my writing. I want my readers to thoroughly enjoy learning about history so I give it to them in a thrilling and exciting read. I don't bog them down with trivial information. I give them the historical facts presented in an awesome telling of history.
