Plot:	This is the film which launched the first Ninja boom in Japan after WWII. The producers enlisted the aid of the last "living Ninja master" as a consultant, so this film contains realistic Ninja techniques and details of Ninja society.
Overview:	Shinobi No Mono is the first of a series of eight Japanese historical dramas which were released in Japan over a four year period from 1962 to 1966 by Daiei Pictures. The plot of the films focuses on a ninja named Ishikawa Goemon and his struggle to survive during Japan's warring states period. The films star Ichikawa Raizo (of Nemuri Kyoshiro / Sleepy Eyes of Death fame) who plays Ishikawa Goemon as well as several other characters throughout the series. Wakayama Tomisaburo (of Kozure Ookami / Lone Wolf and Cub fame) also appears in the first four movies.
