Shoninki is a Kishu-ryu Ninjutsu book and it was written in 1681.'Sho' means 'correct' and 'Nin' means 'Ninjutsu'.That is to say,Shoninki means Correct Ninjutsu Book.
In Japan,it is a very famous Ninja book together with Bansen shukai and Ninpiden.(They have been called 3 major ninja books in JAPAN) Many Japanese modern books on Ninja are based on it. Some researchers on Ninjutsu,Ninja such as Yumio Nawa think more highly of Shoninki than Bansen Shukai.
The author of Shoninki says,'Ninja have often deceived people. So I described all the secret art of NINJA because it is impossible to defend oneself from danger without knowing them'. It can be said that to know the essence of Ninja and Ninjutsu,Shoninki is the first material for those who are interested in Ninja.
