Ninja costumes and weapons in Japanese ninja culture

The standard clothing for ninjas is dark night clothes, and sometimes a tight vest is worn on the upper body. There are many large and small pockets on the vest, which are used to hold (knife wound medicine, anti-inflammatory painkillers, poison and so on. ), knife, rope, chain, "shuriken", dry food.

Ninjas usually sneak into enemy towers and mansions on new moons or cloudy nights. If they always wear black, the outline will be more prominent. So the basic clothing color is often dark blue. At night, when the moon and stars are scarce, they will change into gray or brown clothes. Sometimes it's gray outside and brown inside. In case of enemy pursuit, you can reverse your costume on the way and use the color illusion to escape. In addition, dark blue can prevent the invasion of poisonous snakes, mosquitoes and other insects, and it is a cloth dyed with iron-containing natural dyes. As for underwear, of course, it is the traditional Japanese crotch cloth (a slender white cloth). But the ninja's beam method is different from that of ordinary people, and its length is longer. They wrapped the crotch cloth from the neck to the crotch and finally to the waist. In this way, the crotch cloth can be pulled out from the back of the neck at any time as a bandage or rope for first aid. There are many pockets in the coat, where you can put some gunpowder, sewing needles, and emergency medicine (including sleeping pills and poison) that can't get wet. There are some daily necessities in the belt. Gloves and leggings usually hide some hidden weapons. The forbearing clothes exist in an inconspicuous way: for example, a headscarf is wrapped around the waist as a belt, and forbearing clothes will not arouse people's suspicion. However, once you receive a secret mission, you can disguise yourself quickly and easily. At this time, when the belt is taken off, it becomes a masked headscarf, and the pockets in the clothes can quickly carry the food, hidden weapons and medicines you need to leave.

From now on, it can be seen that the normal life of a ninja is also full of preparations for performing tasks. This is reflected in weapons and clothing. Ninjas usually wear samurai clothes at home and forbearance clothes when they go out to perform tasks. What they often see in movies and TV is wearing black clothes.

Ninjas who go out to perform tasks will try not to wear clothes to attract attention, which is convenient for hiding and escaping. Black, brown, gray, navy blue and dark color are the first choice of clothing colors.

Wearing a black kimono and carrying hidden weapons and drugs.

In order to protect themselves, they sometimes wear copper goggles and soft chain mail on their chests, which is reflected in the movie Red Shadow.

As the most likely weapon to provide defense and attack, forbearance has been designed and improved. It can be seen from the clothes that ninjas have always designed their work clothes as pragmatism.
