Ninpiden

The Ninpiden (a.k.a. Shinobi Hiden, or Legends of Ninja Secrets) is an authentic ninjutsu manual written by Hattori Hanzo in 1560.[1] It is regarded as one of the three key historical texts of ninjutsu, along with the Shōninki and the Bansenshukai.[2][3] It was passed down in the Hattori family, and was considered a secret transmission; it was not shared with outsiders and even within the family, few had access to it.[4]
