Ninja Star and Japanese culture

Noble samurai warriors hired ninjas for espionage, sabotage and assassination. Ninjas wore dark clothes that covered their entire body outside their eyes, thus making them invisible in the dark.

The ninja, using a star-shaped weapon called Shuriken and the blown arrow called fukiya, were quiet but deadly.

They were also swordsmen. They used their weapons not only to kill, but also to climb into the stone walls in order to enter the castles and observe their enemies.

There are hardly any official documents showing the activities of the ninjas, because their duties are confidential.

The instruments and methods they used were orally passed from generation to generation.

Shuriken, also known as the Ninja Star, is a kind of weapon and literally means a hidden knife in the hand. The shuriken traditionally used by the ninjas is a starlight, rigid weapon made of hard steel, with a central hole or weight to prevent the spring from drawing in the air. There are also cutting functions of the sharp edges except for the stalking, since it turns around when it is discarded.With the spread of firearms, the use of shuriken has gradually decreased

Ninja Yıldızı olarak da bilinen Shuriken bir çeşit silahtır ve kelime anlamı olarak el içinde gizli bıçak anlamına gelmektedir. Geleneksel olarak ninjaların kullandığı shuriken yıldız şeklinde, sert çelikten yapılmış, havada yay çizmesini engellemek için ortası delik ya da ağırlık takılmış ölümcül bir silahtır. Atıldığı zaman dönerek gittiği için sivri kenarlarının saplanma haricinde bir de kesme fonksiyonları bulunmaktadır.Ateşli silahların yaygınlaşmasıyla shuriken’in kullanımı yavaş yavaş azalmıştır.
