Eine Ander Bekannte Des Clans Der Mochizucki. Sie War, Die Abtrünnig, Welche Den Verat Am Stil Des Clans Machte Eine ander bekannte des Clans der Mochizucki. Sie war, die abtrünnig, welche den Verat am Stil des Clans machte. Den Namen verfälschte und sich, um unerkannt zu bleiben, nicht Mochitsuki schreibt. Sie war im Dienste des Takeda Clans eingegangen welche aus dem Aizu Clan hervorging. Sugeno no Dai-Soke Mochitsuki Shihan Es war im September 1661, als sich die Streitkräfte der Provinz Kai und der Armee der Provinz Echigo auf der "Insel zwischen den Flüssen", besser bekannt als Kawanakajima, in der nördlichen Provinz Shinano im feudalen Japan trafen. Dies war die vierte der 5 legendären Schlachten von Kawanakajima und die größte Anzahl an Unglücksfällen - mehr Krieger wurden allein in dieser einen Schlacht verloren als in allen anderen 4 zusammen. Einer dieser Krieger war Mochizuki Moritoki, ein Samurai-Herrscher aus Shinanos Saku-Distrikt in der Provinz Kai. Er hinterließ seine Frau, Mochizuki Chiyome, die ein riesiges, ganz weibliches Netzwerk von Ninja-Agenten im Dienst der Kai-Provinz schuf. Nun war Mochizuki Moritoki auch der Neffe des Daimyo - Feudalherren - der Provinz Takeda Shingen, und wie in Japan üblich, wurden die Frauen der gefallenen Krieger von der Provinz betreut. Moritokis Beziehung zu Shingen vergewisserte sich nur, dass Chiyome im Luxus die meiste Aufmerksamkeit erhalten würde, aber sie hatte andere Pläne. Sie dürstete nach Rache. Chiyome war kein bloßer Mauerblümchen einer Frau. Sie war eine direkte Nachfahrin des legendären Ninja- Kriegers und Lehrers Mochizuki Izumonokami, Gründer des Koga Ninja Clans. Izumonokami ist heute als Erfinder der Rauchbombe bekannt. Kein bloßer Mauerblümchen einer Frau! Sie überzeugte Shingen, ihr Projekt zu finanzieren - eine Akademie, um Frauen in der Kunst der Spionage, Sabotage und Aufklärung zu schulen. Eine Akademie, um Kunoichi - oder weibliche Ninjas zu veröffentlichen. Es war eine sehr gewalttätige Zeit in Japans Geschichte; eine Periode, in der die Feudalprovinzen ständig verändert wurden und ein sehr ähnliches politisches Klima wie der Kalten Krieg zwischen Russland und den USA vier Jahrhunderte später genossen. Shingen übernahm die Idee und etablierte Chiyome als seinen Spionagemeister. Sie eröffnete ihre Schule im Dorf Nezu in ihrer Heimatprovinz Koga und rekrutierte Prostituierte und andere unberechenbare Frauen, Opfer der Feudalkriege und junge verwaiste Mädchen. Sie wurde von den Einheimischen verehrt, weil sie solchen Frauen geholfen und sie auf die Beine gebracht hatten, aber sie trainierte sie in erster Linie, um Informationssammler und Prüfer, Verführerinnen, Boten und, wenn nötig, Mörder zu werden. Assassinen, die die Arbeit auch erledigt haben! Sie war klug genug, ihre Schüler in religiöses und spirituelles Lernen zu indoktrinieren, damit sie ahnungslos als Mikos dienen konnten - wandernde Priesterinnen -, die es ihnen erlaubten, ungehindert irgendwohin zu reisen. Mit der Zeit beherrschten die Kunoichi den effektiven Gebrauch anderer, komplexerer Verkleidungen - Schauspielerinnen, Prostituierte oder Geishas -, was ihnen erlaubte, sich in Dörfern, Städten, Schlössern und Tempeln frei zu bewegen und Zugang zu ihren Zielen zu erlangen. Sie verstreute ihre Kunoichi in den Provinzen Japans, verkleidet als alles, von Adeligen der High Society bis hin zu Geishas und Prostituierten in den Tränkeeinrichtungen von Volkssoldaten. Sie stahlen alle Informationen, lauschten Plots und zeichneten fortlaufend Stadtverteidigungen und Einzelheiten darüber auf, wie viele Soldaten in allen städtischen Garnisonen stationiert waren. Sie wurden auch in der Gegenspionage geschult und fälschten Dokumente, übergaben falsche Nachrichten an bekannte Agenten und informierten Chiyome darüber, welche Fehlinformationen sie verbreitet hatten. Die Legende besagt, dass sie auch Operationen sabotierten, die Wasserversorgung einiger Garnisonsstädte vergifteten und sogar einige Adlige ermordeten. Es dauerte nicht lange, bis andere begannen, die Dienste von Kunoichi zu nutzen. Schließlich hatten Chiyome und ihre Armee von Kunoichi ein ausgedehntes Netzwerk von über 300 Agenten aufgebaut, die dem Takeda-Clan gedient hatten, und Shingen wurde immer über alle Aktivitäten informiert, was ihn immer einen Schritt vor seinen Gegnern machte. Doch trotz seiner vielen Erfolge starb Shingen unter mysteriösen Umständen, als seine Armee dem Daimyo der Provinz Mikawa ausgesetzt war. Einige Berichte schreiben seinen Tod einer Lungenentzündung und andere einem Scharfschützenschuss zu. Doch was noch mysteriöser war als das, was an Takeda Shingens mysteriösem Tod im Jahr 1573 geschah, Chiyome - und absolut jede Spur von ihr und ihren Agenten - verschwand völlig. Die Theorien sind immer noch im Überfluss - wurde sie als Teil einer Verschwörung gegen sie und Shingen getötet? Hat sie ihr Netzwerk aufgelöst und sich versteckt, oder hat sie sogar weiter gearbeitet? Hat sie sich mit Takeda Shingen verrechnet und ihn getötet, bevor sie verschwand? Tatsache ist, dass wir wahrscheinlich niemals die Wahrheit erfahren werden. Chiyome war Ninja und lebt, wie so vieles in der Geschichte der Ninjas, heute wie damals - in geheimnisvoller Hülle. Englisch: Another known of the clan of Mochizucki. She was the apostate who made the verat in the style of the clan. The name falsified and, to remain unrecognized, not Mochitsuki writes. She was in the service of the Takeda clan, which emerged from the Aizu clan. Sugeno no Dai-Soke Mochitsuki Shihan It was in September 1661 when the Kai and Echigo provincial forces met on the "Isle between the Rivers," better known as Kawanakajima, in the northern province of Shinano in feudal Japan. This was the fourth of the 5 legendary battles of Kawanakajima and the largest number of casualties - more warriors were lost in this one battle alone than in all the other 4 combined. One of these warriors was Mochizuki Moritoki, a Samurai ruler from Shinano's Saku district in Kai province. He left behind his wife, Mochizuki Chiyome, who created a huge, all-female network of ninja agents in the service of Kai Province. Now, Mochizuki Moritoki was also the nephew of the Daimyo - feudal lords - of Takeda Shingen Province, and as usual in Japan, the women of the fallen warriors were cared for by the province. Moritoki's relationship with Shingen only made sure that Chiyome received the most attention in luxury, but she had other plans. She was thirsting for revenge. Chiyome was not a mere wallflower of a woman. She was a direct descendant of the legendary ninja warrior and teacher Mochizuki Izumonokami, founder of the Koga Ninja clan. Izumonokami is known today as the inventor of the smoke bomb. No mere wallflower of a woman! She convinced Shingen to fund her project - an academy to train women in the art of espionage, sabotage, and education. An academy to publish Kunoichi or female Ninjas. It was a very violent time in Japan's history; a period in which the feudal provinces were constantly changing and enjoyed a very similar political climate as the Cold War between Russia and the US four centuries later. Shingen took the idea and established Chiyome as his spy master. She opened her school in the village of Nezu in her native province of Koga, recruiting prostitutes and other unpredictable women, victims of feudal wars and young orphaned girls. She was revered by the locals for helping and getting such women on their feet, but she trained them primarily to become information gatherers and examiners, temptresses, messengers and, if necessary, murderers. Assassins who did the work too! She was smart enough to indoctrinate her disciples into religious and spiritual learning so they could naively serve as Mikos - wandering priestesses - who allowed them to travel freely. Over time, the Kunoichi mastered the effective use of other, more complex disguises - actresses, prostitutes or geishas - allowing them to move freely in villages, towns, castles and temples and gain access to their goals. She scattered her kunoichi in the provinces of Japan, disguised as anything, from high society aristocrats to geishas and prostitutes in folk food treats. They stole all the information, listened to plots, and kept track of city defenses and details of how many soldiers were stationed in all city garrisons. They were also trained in counterintelligence and falsified documents, gave false news to known agents, and informed Chiyome what misinformation had spread them. Legend has it that they also sabotaged operations, poisoned the water supply of some garrison towns, and even murdered some nobles. It was not long before others began using the services of Kunoichi. After all, Chiyome and her army of Kunoichi had built up an extensive network of over 300 agents who had served the Takeda clan, and Shingen was kept informed of all activities, which always took him one step ahead of his opponents. But despite his many successes, Shingen died under mysterious circumstances when his army was exposed to the daimyo of Mikawa province. Some reports attribute his death to pneumonia and others to a sniper's shot. But even more mysterious than what happened to Takeda Shingen's mysterious death in 1573, Chiyome - and every trace of her and her agents - disappeared completely. The theories are still in abundance - was she killed as part of a plot against her and Shingen? Did she break her network and hide, or did she continue to work? Did she deal with Takeda Shingen and kill him before she disappeared? .

Moore Thesis Committee: Christine Yano, Chairperson Lonny Carlile Yuma Totani ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is in some ways marks an end to my twenties, and a beginning for everything thereafter. From its inception as a series of experiences in Japan to its completion in written form, I have been indebted to a great many people. First and foremost, I wish to thank my committee members: Christine Yano, Lonny Carlile, and Yuma Totani. All three were mentors to me in my coursework at the University of Hawaiʻi, and provided invaluable feedback and support throughout the writing process. Within the Asian Studies department, I am also grateful for the advice of Cathryn H. Clayton and Young-a Park. From my cohort, I cannot thank Clara Hur and Layne Higgenbotham enough for their friendship, and lending me a sympathetic ear from time to time. From a former life, I also wish to thank Kenneth Pinyopusarerk and John Crow. Without their patient mentorship, I would not be the writer—or the translator—that I am today. Likewise, I would never have come this far without my family: Carol-Lynne Moore, Kaoru Yamamoto, and Kiyomi Moore.

    The VINTAGE NINJA Movie & TV Guide VOL. 1: JAPAN, LIVE ACTION — 1920s-1980s © Keith J. Rainville, 2021 You want to see the movies Sho Kosugi grew up watching, the ones that inspired animation designers and video game artists of the 80s and 90s, the ones the James Bond people ripped off in the 60s, but where to start? Or, you’ve amassed a collection of these gems already but know there’s more out there. Here’s a user- friendly reference for both pursuits, with quick-and-easy recommendations for Japanese ninja titles from the silent era to the late 80s — their general flavor and tone, varying trends and tropes, and a lot of surprises. CONVENTIONS OF THIS GUIDE: • TITLES — for better or worse I’ve used the most commonly used translations out there. These are often the most accessible references to these films so, even if the title’s been butchered, there’s still a practical advantage when searching them out. • VN as an entity has to be cautious when it comes to supporting/endorsing certain not-so-authorized film collecting activities out there, so sorry, there’s no links here... • YES THERE’S MORE TO COME! This will be updated often and I have a huge stack of discs and files awaiting input. Plus future volumes on Anime, Japan 1990—present, Hong Kong/Chinese films, ninja-like hooded heroes, and more. • Yes, we welcome corrections and additions.

Resta una sola via da seguire: se operare come il Mago non basta, occorre pensare come il Mago, vedere l’Universo con i suoi occhi, agire alla luce della sua logica. Solo così si potrà scorgere l’obiettivo del Mago, il fine della Grande Opera; si comprenderanno le Leggi alle quali egli si appella, le Forze che entrano in gioco al suo Volere, le ragioni del suo Operare. Solo dopo di ciò si potrà pensare di imitarlo.” Sebastiano Fusco Pensiero saggio… che trova riscontro e validità in tutti i campi del Sapere Antico che richiedono un “immedesimazione” con la figura che praticava tale Sapere. Nemmeno il Ninjutsu è scevro da questa “regola”, noi praticanti non possiamo pensare di svolgere una “serie di specializzazioni Marziali” (Ninja SanJuRokkei – ovvero trentasei discipline Ninja) solamente perché pratichiamo Jutai Jutsu all’interno di un Dōjō, riscaldato d’inverno e condizionato d’estate, con il Tatami che attutisce le cadute. Lo Shinobi viveva con gli Elementi ed attraverso gli stessi operava, si muoveva quando le condizioni atmosferiche erano per proibitive per la gente comune, si nascondeva in anfratti e si fondeva con la Natura stessa divenendone egli stesso parte integrante. Come non si può esporre una teoria

In contrast to models of cultural and political development imported from the West during the Meiji Restoration and extended during the Showa and Taisho eras, and the strong orientation toward centralized vertical hierarchy that in Japanese culture and governance of that period, Minakata offers an understanding in terms of dispersed non-linear networks. As botanist, folklorist, and environmental activist, Minakata refused engagement with academic and governmental institutions, conducting his life and work in the remote Kii Peninsuala. In doing so, he engaged with a variety of significant horizontal networks: elite aristocratic networks, demotic press networks, ascent pan-Asian political networks, domestic folkloric and literary networks, and international intellectual networks.
