What Did Ninjas Wear?

Did Ninjas really wear black?

So what did Ninjas really wear? Ninjas (or ninja) were ancient Japanese warriors skilled in the martial art of ninjutsu.

Ninjas were known for their stealth. Actually there would have worn whatever clothes were suitable for their mission. They might have worn ordinary Japanese clothes if they needed to blend in to a crowd. Or they might have worn dark clothes for a night-time mission. Or dressed as a Samurai warrior to disguise their real intent.

It is thought that the all-black costumes come from Japanese theatre where, by convention, black characters could not be seen. Stealthy ninjas therefore came to wear all black.

But today everyone recognises a martial arts suit with a head covering showing only the eyes as a ninja suit.

You could try dressing as a Samurai and telling everyone you're a ninja on a secret mission, but that option is more complicated!
