 Female ninjas favored beautiful hairpins, known as kanzashi. Unlike other women's hairpins, female ninjas used their kanzashi for numerous purposes. Hairpins would be sharpened and dipped in poison to be used as weapons or assassination tools. [([[https://japanobjects.com/features/kanzashi|Japan Objects]])] Female ninjas favored beautiful hairpins, known as kanzashi.

 +===== Neko-Te =====
 +
 +Female ninjas would attach lethal metal nails to their fingertips. These razor-sharp weapons were known as neko-te, which translates as "cat hand." [([[http://theomnireview.blogspot.com/2011/12/neko-te.html|Omnireview]])]

 +===== Yatate =====
 +
 +A yatate is a tiny bamboo container used to store ink and writing tools. A yatate was not only useful for writing information, but also for hiding poison, needles and other tiny weapons. [([[http://www.ninjaencyclopedia.com/weapon/yatate.html|Ninja Encyclopedia]])]
 +
 +===== Cricket =====
 +
 +Ninjas utilized a variety of weapons and equipment, but one of their most essential things was a live cricket, which they used to help them in their secret operations. The chirping of crickets would ingeniously cover a ninja's footsteps, allowing them to go unobserved. [([[https://www.chicagotribune.com/redeye/redeye-all-about-ninjas-20151231-story.html|Chicago Tribune]])]
 +
 +===== Secrecy =====
 +
 +Ninjas kept their abilities and knowledge hidden from everyone, even themselves. [([[http://www.stjohnpeshtigo.org/home/180008152/180008153/Images/School%20Newsletter12519.pdf|stjohnpeshtigo]])]
 +
 +===== Blend In =====
 +
 +The idea of a ninja clad entirely in black with a mask concealing their face is a contemporary one. Ninjas were taught to blend in with the crowd, and someone dressed entirely in black would stand out like a sore thumb. The ability to remain anonymous was critical to a ninja's survival. [([[https://theuijunkie.com/did-ninja-wear-black/|theuijunkie]])]
 +
 +===== Covert Agent Or Mercenary =====
 +
 +The ninja performed espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerilla warfare. Ninjas were often employed and had little loyalty. [([[https://traditionalkyoto.com/culture/ninja/|Traditional Kyoto]])]
 +
 +===== Shinobi =====
 +
 +The ninjas were commonly referred to as Shinobi, which translates to "covert agent," a term borrowed from the Japanese "to steal away" or "to hide."  [([[https://www.bujinkangreece.net/el/content/shinobi|bujinkangreece]])]
 +
 +===== Resourceful Weaponry =====
 +
 +Because ninjas concealed in plain sight, many ninja weapons were just adapted farming equipment. One example of an agricultural implement transformed into a ninja weapon is the sickle and chain. [([[https://kotaku.com/all-you-know-about-ninja-is-probably-wrong-5932403|Kotaku]])]
