Ninja - The Second Half
At the battle against Nobunaga Oda, a famous Warload who tried to unify Japan, when the Nobunaga's strong troops tried to invade Iga, the farmers there who were on bad terms with each other finally got hand in hand and started to fight back against the strong troops. They struck the enemy hard and tormented. Nobunaga won the battle after all, but the name of Iga became famous nationwide, and later they were recruited as Ninja by Ieyasu Tokugawa, who defeated Hideyoshi Toyotomi as the successor of Nobunaga, and unified Japan and created Edo. Edo is the previous name of Tokyo, exactly the area is a bit different from current Tokyo's though.
While Ieyasu had battles with Hideyoshi's successors, Iga ninjas were doing great jobs for Ieyasu. After Ieyasu won the battles, he brought Japan peace, and gradually Ninja lost their jobs. The descendant left the books of secrets about Ninja. They described about their tools but didn't describe how to use them. That's why people borned after that imagined like, maybe we can fly like a bird with this tool, maybe we can disappear like a magician with this tool..and so on.
Thus, the current image of Ninja was created, and many comics and films have featured it like Naruto, a popular comic.
I'm planning to go to Iga city to have experiences of Ninja after the corona virus problems are extinguished.
忍者 後編
織田信長(日本を統一しようとした有名な戦国武将)との戦いで、強敵、信長軍が伊賀に攻め込もうとしたとき、仲の悪かった伊賀の農民達はついに手を取り合い、強敵に反撃し始めた。徹底的に攻撃し敵を苦しめた。結果的に信長が勝利したが、伊賀という名前を全国に知らしめた。その後、徳川家康に忍者としてスカウトされた。家康は信長の後継者、豊臣秀吉を討ち、日本を統一し、江戸を築いた人物です。江戸は東京の前身。地域は現在の東京とは少し違うけどね。家康が秀吉の後継者達と戦っている時、伊賀忍者達は家康のために大活躍だった。
家康が戦に勝った後、家康は世の中を平和にし、忍者は次第に職を失っていった。子孫は忍者の秘伝の書を残した。その本には彼らが使った道具について書いてあったが、使い方は書いていなかった。なので後世の人々は、この道具を使って鳥のように空を飛んだのでは、この道具を使って魔法使いのように姿を消したのでは、等と想像を膨らました。
こうして現在の忍者のイメージが出来上がり、人気コミックNarutoのように多くのマンガや映画で取り上げられるようになった。
コロナウィルス問題が消えたら伊賀へ忍者を体験しに行こうと思う。

Very interesting! I wonder why the Ninja left no explanations for their tools? That seems important important information for their descendants to know!

I saw my dictionary and actually couldn't decide which one to choose.
I took "torture" means they catch enemy and do something hashly like whip them to cofess. I wanted to say when the enemy approaches to Iga's center area, the troops got trapped and were killed easily one after another, so they struggled much to go forward to Iga's center. In this case torture is used as well??

Thank you very much! Your advice is very helpful!
The narrator on the TV program said that these tools can kill people so they judged it was better not to tell about how to use them so that those who read the books cannot learn how to kill people.

Ah, I see! In that case, torture is probably the wrong word to use. But torment isn’t quite right either. Perhaps “hinder them”, “trap them”, “cripple them”, or even “stagger them”, would describe that more accurately.

Oh,cripple and stagger are nice!
Thank you very much!
