Ninja Clothing

It is thought by most that ninja were people in black costumes who had extraordinary skills and abilities. The origin of ninja isn't clear, but it's said that might be around 6th century. In the 15th century, ninja flourished as spys who helped feudal lords and samurai warriors with special tools. Shuriken were sharp hand-held weapons ninja used to throw. No evidance has been found to support that ninjas wore all black suits. Some may have worn armour.

This is entirely false. These days most ninjas who are working as bodyguards would wear a suit or similar modern clothing. So when might a ninja have worn a mask? Maybe eight hundred years ago if they had to hide in the trees but even then it was not part of a “uniform”. A ninja wearing a mask is no different to a soldier wearing camouflage.. It depends entirely on the environment and the need for hiding. This is true also of black clothing.
 * Myth:** Ninjas wore masks when fighting and black clothes; it is their uniform.
