## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In the dark of day.
*by J***J on May 23, 2025*

Good start to understanding.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ True Path of The Ninja
*by P***E on March 6, 2025*

Similar to another book called "Shoninki". It was good effort of the author using his style to translate the information. I found the information quite useful. The contents are somewhat outdated for modern times. A good read however.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'True Path' is a path to truth.
*by N***E on March 8, 2017*

The Ninja. Virtually everyone in the modern world has heard the term, but what do we really know about them? Those seeking a true understanding of the historical realities of these mysterious figures will find scant few volumes available. In a market saturated with and dominated by long held misconceptions and often blatant misinformation and misdirection about the ninja, 'True Path' is a path to truth.This slight volume is a translation of primary source documentation about the legitiimate historical ninja and the practice of ninjutsu; and as such provides a rare glimpse through the veil of fiction and fantasy, leaving us with factual accounts by an actual ninja!The diminutive size of this volume belies the abundance of information with which it is packed. I've read this tome many times and I'm always astounded by just how much information is contained in such a small book. I think it's fair to say that a great many books of double (and even greater) size often do not contain a fraction of the information contained in this one! If I were to make any criticism of the book it would be soley with the publishers and their marketing ploys to capitalize on long held, but erroneous popular misconceptions of the ninja despite the efforts of the translators to present a different (i.e. - accurate and factual) representation in the form of primary evidence. That said, this should not be seen as a reflection of the efforts of the translation team and these little nuances do little to underscore the importance of this historical work and wealth of it's content. An updated and revised second edition is forthcoming and I have already pre-ordered it, for anyone seeking a glimpse into the actual thoughts, practices, and operations of the ninja of old, I would HIGHLY recommend you do the same! In my humble opinion this is among a small handful of books that no person having an interest in the ninja should be without.-J. Farthing, March 2017
