The House of the Ninja
Ninja (忍者?) They were spies or mercenaries of feudal Japan.
Correctly the exact name was shinobi and meant one who was part of a specialized group of spies and mercenaries.
The functions of the ninja included: espionage, sabotage, infiltration This figure appeared in the Sengoku or "Warring States" period, ie in the 15th century. However, it is likely that they were present in both the 14th and 12th centuries (Heian period or early Kamakura period). Despite the many folk tales, historical ninja tales are scarce. Historian Stephen Turnbull states that ninja were mostly recruited from the lower class and therefore there was little literary interest in them. With this set we want to depict the house of a Ninja, with his garden, where he could meditate and train, or dedicate himself to polishing his weapons and his uniform and feeding his frog in the pond.
