Прирачници од Едо ерата за прикриени нинџи ги откриваат тајните на шпионската струка

Posted on Categories Magazine

Прирачници кои содржат тајни техники користени од нинџите и пишани заклетви за нивните прикриени мисии биле пренесувани со генерации во домот на потомок на нинџи во западна Јапонија, покажуваат анализите на старите документи кои биле најдени таму.
Експерти по Јапонска историја тврдат дека документите откриени во 2000 година во Кога, во префектурата Шига, се важни затоа што докажуваат дека нинџутсу техниките користени од страна на феудалните Јапонски платеници кои биле вмешани во мисии како шпионажа, саботажа и атентати, биле предавани на следните генерација во областа.
Кога и Ига во префектурата Мие се надалеку познати како области од каде што потекнуваат овие два најпознати нинџа кланови. Влијанието на Нинџите почнало постепено да слебее за време на Едо Периодот (1603-1868).

Меѓу 150-те предмети најдени во куќата на 79 годишниот Тошинобу Ватанабе, 17 се прирачници на теми како што се правење отрови или вршење ноќни напади. Од 17-те, четири се напишани меѓу 1670 и 1680 година, според истражувањето извршено од страна на Општинската Управа на Кога кое започна минатата година.

На пример, еден од прирачниците за отрови ги подучува нинџите како да ставаат во бунарите прав добиен при горење на гуштери или тигар-буби, за кои се верувало дека се отровни.

Во друг прирачник пишува за успивачки лекови од кои непријателите би заспале поради чадот создаден при горење на прав од черупки на инсекти или на тутун.

Во врска со ноќните заседи, според споменатите текстови, на нинџите им се препорачувало да не им се приближуваат на непријателите веднаш откако ќе ги нападнат со оружја кои предизвикуваат оган, затоа што можат и самите да бидат загушени од чадот.

Документите чувани во домот на Ватанабе покажуваат дека нинџите биле обучувани на разни вештини, меѓу кои и артилериско пукање, јавање и магии.

Сетот од 150 документи вклучува и копии од 10 заклетви напишани меѓу 1700 и 1829 година кои биле дадени на еден локален феудалец.

Документите покажуваат дека кога нинџите од Кога се вклучувале во борбите за заштита на имотот на локалниот феудалец, барале ветување дека нивниот статус ќе биде целосно заштитен. Истовремено давале ветување дека сите нивни акции ќе бидат најстрого доверливи. Предците на Ватанабе биле фармери, а истовремено работеле и како нинџи.

Масајуки Ито, истражувач од Градскиот совет на Кога за прашања поврзани со образованието, тврди дека одреден Џонин од Кога раководел истовремено со пет нинџа фамилии, вклучувајќи ги и Ватанабе и тајно склучувал договори со локалниот Даимјо.

За време на мир, тие „нерегуларни“ нинџа водови, секоја година го посетувале кланот Овари во сегашната Аичи префектура, за да добијат инструкции за артилериско пукање, покажуваат истражувањата на Ито.

Јуџи Јамада, јапонски професор по историја на Мие Универзитетот, дополнува дека документите најдени во домот на Ватанебе се „автентични историски матерјали“, затоа што многу од нив се точно датирани и предавани во фамилијата на нинџа наследниците.

Exactly 24 kids participated in the spring offensive that forced us to promise that this event will keep happening biyearly (fall-spring).

During the seminar, the future Warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia practiced techniques of throwing the opponent (Nage Wasa), with which the proved that they are rightly considered “the future of our dojo and our country”.

Naturally, the wonderful friendships were not left out, all kinds of different “ninja games”, the kids proved capable of handling the powerful lunch, which they managed to beat in just under 20 minutes, leaving behind them only devastation in the form of empty plates.

So long till the “Kids Ninja Camp”, which will take place this upcoming summer.

Its been fifteen years since the instructor Igor Dovezenski held a seminar on the topic of YumiYa Jutsu for the first time, and the interest for this ancient weapon is still growing and attracting new interested members from Bujinkan Macedonia.
Of course, regular participants are veterans who have decided to in some way ‘specialize’ in the primitive “ninja bow and arrow”.

The goal and wish of shidoshi Igor Dovezenski is to enable his student to be able to in just half an hour to make a primitive bow and arrows which will help them to survive meaning to manage if they ever find themselves in a hostile environment.

For this purpose, he carefully teaches them how to find the proper piece of wood, which will enable them to make solid weapons which will enhance their chances of survival if their lives are ever in danger.

The seminar which was held this Sunday started with a short lecture on the history of the bow and arrow, after which, after it was demonstrated how, the members of the dojo had the task of making a bow themselves with which they would latter practice.

After the preparations were done, the target was placed, upon which the participants had the opportunity to practice shooting from four different body positions, under the pretense of different scenarios.

As the training continued, the warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia had increasingly better results, and evident was the advancement of those who were regular participants in this traditional event.

Satisfied by the things taught, in the end it was agreed upon that the seminar was to continued to be held in the same time as every year meaning the last weekend of April.

The members of Bujinkan Macedonia who took part in this Sundays seminar for Chigiriki, again gained and advantage and learnt to use another for them new, but ancient Japanese self defense tool. The yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organization „Taiyou e no Michi“ was the place where the teacher Dovezenski selflessly taught his students the knowledge gained through years spent in practicing classical Japanese samurai and ninja arts.

The participants had the opportunity to train in all the basic forms of this unusual weapon which is made out a stick, chain and weight, but during training an wooden substitute is used connected with a rope which is weighted with a tennis ball, of course, to avoid any possible injury.

It appears that a few of the members of the dojo are already firmly set in their intentions to also master this skill, and many of the beginners also show interest, which promises that in the future too seminars on this topic will be held.

As last was year, so was this year. “Grandma Marta” surprised the warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia showing her unpredictability and power to change the weather several times during one day.

The seminar for fighting with a spear ( Sojutsu ), which every year attracts a large part of the members of Bujinkan Macedonia, this Sunday was held for the eight time, in the same location (Slepo Kolo) on the hill of Orljak. And this time, the cry’s of the participants bore withes of the will to delve deeper in this ancient Japanese martial art. Although the morning promised nice weather conditions, which at least in the first part of the day came true, rising the mercury in the thermometer to 25 degrees Celsius, somewhere after 13:00 the temperature took a sudden plunge going down to 5 degrees. At the same time, a strong rain started to drop which mercilessly battered the participants of the event. Despite the great cold, the Warriors steadfastly finished all the katas from the first part of the densho ( Omote ), and afterwards started for the Hombu Dojo where they had the opportunity to watch tapes from former trainings during which shidoshi Dovezenski was shown teaching techniques from the school Koto ryu Koppojutsu.

In the end of the day, the instructor of Bujinkan Macedonia promised that this traditional seminar will keep being held every year in March, in the same location.

In the yard of the Hombu Dojo of the Organization „Taiyou e no Michi“, this Saturday a special seminar was held on the topic of Shuriken Jutsu. In the event participated over ten members of Bujinkan Macedonia who during the day threw more than five hundred metal blades , characteristic of the ninja warriors from the time of medieval Japan. The participants, who were from different ages, had the opportunity to throw Senban and Iga shuriken, and at the end of the day the wooden targets were almost completely damaged from the powerful piercing strikes of the metal star like tools. Some of the students of shidoshi Dovezenski, who regularly and yearly take part in this traditional seminar, are already achieving significant results in this old Japanese art, while does who are just now getting to know it are taken away by its power.

The recognitions “Genin” were awarded to two members of Bujinkan Macedonia

On the 27 of February ( 2017 ), the teacher Dovezenski awarded bronze medals “Genin”
to the junior Teachers Zoran Todorovski and Marko Opachikj, as a recognition of their decade long regular training in the dojo of Bujinkan Macedonia.

We hope that this reward will only grow their incentive and will be an even larger motivator for their future perfection of the  Way of the Japanese traditional martial arts.

Ninpo Ikkan !!!
