鎌倉時代から江戸時代にかけて、大名や領主に仕えて、スパイのような役割をした者や団体
黒の服を着て、さまざまな道具を使ってアクロバットのような動きですばやく逃げたり、
屋根や塀に乗ったりする
歌舞伎や浮世絵にも描かれ、アニメの主人公にもなっている

1853年、アメリカから黒船が来た時、江戸幕府は忍者を使ってこの船を監視した
これが日本の最後の忍者の仕事となった。黒船が来たことで、江戸時代が終わった
『奥の細道』の作者で俳句で有名な松尾芭蕉や、
浮世絵師の葛飾北斎も忍者だったという伝説がある

They have also been the subject of traditonal Japanese Kabuki theatre and woodblock prints, as well as frequently appearing as heroes in Anime shows.

In 1853, The Edo government dispatched ninjas to the survey the famous 'Black Ships' that had arrived from America.
This was to be the last official task for the ninjas of Japan. The arrival of the Black Ships heralded the end of the Edo period.
Some legends have it that Haiku poet Matsuo Basho (author of 'The Narrow Road to the Interior') and Ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai were ninja.

日本料理

日本料理とは
日本の食材を用い、日本の国土、風土の中で独自に発達した料理をいう。和食、日本食とも呼ばれる。海外では、寿司、刺身、天ぷらが良く知られている。


日本では弥生時代から稲作が盛んだった。やがて中国から仏教とともに茶の文化が入り、精進料理も発達した。日本は海と山の自然に恵まれ、新鮮さを大切にする独自の食文化が次第に形成された。江戸時代には町人文化から生まれた屋台の料理、寿司やソバや天ぷらなどが発達した。京都、大阪、東京には伝統的な日本料理を食べられる料亭も多くある。

Translation

Japanese Cuisine

To speak of Japanese cuisine, is to speak of cuisine that developed on Japanese soil and within the Japanese millieu, as well as as using Japanese ingredients. It is also called 'Washoku' or 'Nihonshoku' in Japanese. Abroad, dishes such as Sushi, Sashimi, and Tempura are widely known.

Rice agriculture has been extensive in Japan since the Yayoi era. When Buddhism and tea culture arrived from China, a vegetarian food culture known as 'Shoujinryouri' as developed. Thanks to Japan's abundance of sea and mountain, a unique food culture which greatly values freshness emerged. Later, foods such as Sushi, Soba, and Tempura grew out of the urban culture of the Edo period. In Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo, you can find many quality establishments in which you may sample the traditional foods of Japan.
