One of the tourism resources that is attracting attention as a source of tourism that supports the booming inbound tourism is anime tourism, and the popularity of "ninjas" has been particularly spurred by "NARUTO," which has fans all over the world. In fact, it is still fresh in our memory that there was a "ninja shortage" all over the country. In the first place, the image of ninjas has been established as "professional combatants" who invade enemy countries, set fire to buildings, carry out destruction, and carry out ambushes, but in reality they were spies whose main job was to "gather information." For this reason, ninjutsu books that remain to this day contain many descriptions of what we would now call communication knowledge, starting with the mindset of a ninja, disguise techniques, social skills, conversation skills, and psychology. Yamada Yuji, a leading ninja researcher, believes that "there are many things about ninjutsu that modern people have forgotten and that can be applied to modern life." Why did ninjas come into being? What knowledge and ideas did they have? What was their fate, and what ninjutsu can be used in modern times? Ochiai Yoichi delves into the way of life of those who have a "blade in their heart."
