Made infamous by the media and popular culture, perhaps even more popular than the samurai, these dark figures cloaked in shadow need little introduction. But what about the real ninja? This class is mostly lecture-based but will start with a discussion of what learners think to be popular myths about the ninja (based on media, etc.). I will then take learners through a PowerPoint slide presentation with images/photos and video clips covering the ninja and their true history. Focus will be on how they lived, what they actually did, how they fought, and how myths about them came to be. Stories of famous actual ninja in Japanese history and what they did, as well as some popular myths surrounding them that made them legendary, will be told as part of the class. Learners are encouraged to ask questions throughout. No previous experience or knowledge of Japanese history, culture, etc. required.
Metas de aprendizaje
After completing this class, learners will be able to explain fact from fiction regarding the ninja warrior class in Japanese history.
Otros detalles
Orientación para padres

Lista de útiles escolares

I specialize in Japanese studies and have studied Japanese premodern history and traditional culture extensively for more than 8 years. I have taught courses on premodern history of Japan with a focus on the warrior culture, as well as given presentations on ninja in popular culture compared to true history since 2006.
I have also been to various historic and cultural sites in Japan related to the history of the ninja, such as Iga and Koga, regions famous for being the home of the Iga ninja and Koga ninja clans respectively. I have also met with an active ninjutsu (ninja technique) master.
