Bujinkan Series Special: Ninja Sword DVD with Masaaki Hatsumi

If one were to ask what is a ninja sword, it can be said that a ninja sword is a Japanese sword, a soul of a warrior living in great nature, the expansive universe. A ninja sword looks like a samurai sword, but it possesses the magical power to live in a void. "Ninja" = "sword", and the respective forms contain the unity of truth.

Ninja sword making is all about making a sword that is solid and practical, but it has an artistic beauty that is non-inferior to the various works of arts in the world, and also shows an extremely high degree of craftsmanship. I believe that you can understand that by viewing these DVD and photograph collection.
It is my hope that through the ninja sword collection, you will understand the wonder of the ninja and how high the level of ninja martial arts was.
