Why Achieving Peace is the Goal of NINDO (Ninja Way) ft. Iga-Born Ninjutsu Sensei

[@mikotagayuna8494]

If the root of many of Japan's problems is its blind adherence to Bushido, then the solution is for the country to embrace its Nindo culture and strike a balance between the two forces. To adapt and to endure in these changing times without losing sight of its heritage and traditions.

12:00 This is very interesting, because there is a old Latin say "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum" (If you want peace, prepare for war"). Gathering information and protecting the province is as important than engaging into war, assuming engaging into war is only when there is no place for peace anymore. Thank you Shogo-san and Ichikawa-san Sensei for these two parts of very informative and myth busting series about Ninjas in a whole and comprehensive manner.

[@lyrad24]

Wow. Nindo might be a better pattern Japan's solution to adapt to the changing times. And yes finally, it is now recognized and can be taught as other standardized Budo.

[@mobiuszero1018]

I've been thinking,maybe we should have shogo and this gentleman react to various ninja in fiction(I.e,Scorpion from Mortal Kombat/Yoshimitsu from the Tekken series,etc.)...

[@nightsky_observer]

That's an awesome idea, would be so cool!!!

[@gimmiebanana5560]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing part 2, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you Shogo, and thank you Ichikawa-san!

[@LetsaskShogo]

I am very very glad you say so! He actually provides other ninja related activities too, so I will surely be making videos of them as well!

[@beatfromjetsetradio8239]

I always love to look to the world stage when things get crazy in my home country; it keeps my perspective fresh and my views broad. While I’m troubled to hear of turbulence in Japan nowadays, I’m sure that they are well aware that, as people, they are not alone in their suffering during these trying times. We’ve all had the very limits of our societies tested, and we’re still not done putting them through the wringer, but by learning the lessons of the past, we face the future as wiser people. Thank you both for this wonderfully-informative 2-parter.

[@paorousama]

I love the ninja philosophy of enduring. That is a really nice message in these trying times.

[@TheAsvarduilProject]

The Kanji for 'Ninja/Shinobi' is composed of a sword radical over a heart radical. Both words mean "the heart that endures".

[@knarftahw]

Amazing, all the Ninja Dojo videos have been fascinating, much respect to Ichikawa-san for doing what he does.

[@pythonhighadder7982]

@13:25 this reminds me: a samurai has a shadow guarding their backs at all times and a really special samurai has many shadows to the point of gaining invisibility == in times of distress can be lost amongst the shadows to re-emerge elsewhere.

[@christopherbecenti1996]

Im half navajo and im highly interested in Japanese culture. It is a bit controversial being a descendent of a navajo code talker but admirer the culture of the Japanese, our geat grand dads fought one another but that dont mean that u n i in this time of age cant get along. That shows us/everyone that we can move along for what ever reason or purpose. I like u man no homo our history is fucked up but in the time of now n here we can n will learn from our mistakes and i do admirer the Japanese culture

[@markfergerson2145]

Please thank Ichikawa-san on our behalf for sharing all of this information with us. There has been so much nonsense spread about Ninja, and it's a refreshing realization to hear who and what hey really were... and how we can be more like them today.

[@xanthippus9079]

Ninjas being liked mostly by children is something that also happens to Brazilian folklore. There are some mythological creature that could be told in an interesting manner, but in many cases we are only exposed to them during our childhood. Of course the stories are then sanitised to be approppriate to children. Therefore many Brazilian adults see folklore as something childish.

[@herickteixeira9060]

I knew that ninja where good craftsmen, but that they used that knowledge during the Meiji Period because of the changes that happened explains a lot.

The same way many martial arts disciplines do, and also Do being the way, which also makes many friends, and also teaches that peace in society is born of martial ways to prevent violence happening in the first place, in an orderly and polite way... To my way of thinking IS Common Sense!!

[@bujinfremont]

Shogo, you should travel to Noda, chiba and interview Soke Masaaki Hatsumi about teaching and training Togakure Ryu Ninpo back in the 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond. Please make the trip north. He just celebrated his 90th birthday...

I have 1 question about Hattori Hanzo. I heard 2 version of who was he. 1 is more popular as I noticed. Theory that he was a ninja. 2nd is my favorite. He was a Samurai, but with lots of connections with ninjas. Which of these theories is more trustworthy?

[@LetsaskShogo]

As he explained in Part1, The ninja who have their names left in history were the ones in the samurai class! So I believe the second version could be more true…

[@hermitlogger]

According to Japanese historical document(I'm Japanese),Hattori Hanzo＝Hattori Masanari＝"Hanzo the 2nd(Demon Hanzo)" was Samurai born in Mikawa.But his father＝Hattori Yasunaga＝"Hanzo the 1st" was a family member of Ninja cheif clan born in Iga.

Hi Shogo! I'm really happy I've found your channel! I'm very interest in Japanese culture and history, but mainly in art. I'm a student of academy of fine arts of Turin, Italy and I was looking for doc and videos about Japanese art, especially painting. I want to ask you something: can you make a video about Japanese painting please? I'm really interested because every book I've read was write by western authors with a western vision of art, a western method of analysing and I want an analysis make by a Japanese. I will be really happy if you can do the video! Thank you 😊

[@navismirza5752]

Ieee, rantaro, kirimaru and shinbei right?

[@4ozgloves205]

There are certain parts of Bushido that are no longer practical in modern society. And Shinobi are glorified in anime and movies starting around 1960 but became very popular in the 80s . Some of the techniques attached to Shinobi and Ninja are practical if you are special forces or something of that nature but to the average civilian these are not practical either in modern society. Making poison assassination and engaging in many of the different ways of the Shinobi are illegal in most countries . But these different demonstrations on this channel are fun to watch but would I let my children watch or read the manuals about espionage assassination or making poisons no I would not .
