SPECIAL MENTION:

SHINOBI;

 

For several years, at a young age i watched SHINOBI adventures unfold on a daily basis.These faceless men and women, dressed in black were the foremost extreme athletes.With more sense than bravado they put their NINJA training into the real.

NINJA on a mission, literally!

Putting both sword and heart on the line so to speak…and oft. crossing it.

Those few and many who, collectively and over time historically have become THE LEGEND.

The legend of the ninja nightwalker; SHINOBI.

 

KUNOICHI, NINJA.

LEGENDS.ALL.

 

BRAVE BLADE/HEART.

 

An olden term, SHINOBI is the alternate reading of the same jap.word for NINJA/NINJUTSU etc.

Basically interchangeable. NINJA is the current preferred pronunciation.

The kanji (letter/character) is of a BLADE (above/over a) HEART.

This character carries the meaning of  PERSEVERANCE.

SHINOBI NO MONO.

Written, as below…2 ways:

 

 

SHINOBI.?.,

NINJA.?.+

KUNOICHI.?.

 

SHINOBI = olden term/name for those who study NINPO.

NINJA + KUNOICHI = personal designation

= male + female. (click).
