xdThe whole ninja in black trope is actually based on the stagehands of japanese theatre and puppetry who are supposed to be “unseen” by the audience. (In other words ignored)
Since this get up made the stagehands “invisible” the ninja in this suit is understood as a cultural trope to also be “invisible.”
I will do that thanks. People seem to be a bit touchy on here from what im seeing about submitting to many posts in one day?While technically no limit you do run the risk of looking like a jerk.
Why not start one thread asking for some links on Japanese swords related threads?
Somebody hook this guy up.

So from what I have read, ninja's are not dressed all in black and carry throwing stars and such. They seem more to focus on stealth and are dressed as an average person than a masked man in black. Ninjato are also debated as even used during that time. So in this case I would agree to a shinobi but not a ninja.
Not real?
They were real enough for Oda Nobunaga to specifically attack and level Iga and Koga in attempt to undermine the ninjas during during his quest for power over japan, and real enough to aid Ieyasu Tokugawa in becoming shogun of a united Japan. Ninjas were real. Ninjas are real.
paid assassins were real. I was saying in the picture above was not how they dressed lolNot real?

Well, there is that legend of the Greenday roadie who committed seppuku with a mic stand.... I pretty much only did corporate, almost had to run a new mic lead under a stage during a presentation, but we ended up not needing it. I've done some interesting crawls behind rear projection screens. I've certainly referred to other techs as stage ninjas due to their ability to seem to will themselves into being invisible. I did one theater event that needed an on-stage set change and we did full masks, best part was getting bumped into by the talent while standing in front of the drape. The true art of the ninja is being invisible in plain sight, sometimes that's wearing black, sometimes its not.Even stagehands in the U.S. are supposed to be invisible. We were supposed to wear all black, but when you are a white guy wearing short sleeves and no hood it was a little silly. Beware the floating arms and head partial man! Honestly, I wished I could be fully hidden many times when the artists or managers were being complete divas, but a good ninja stabbing also felt like a viable option towards the end of a 20 hour shift.
