[Nature Immersion & Ninja Hiding 🥷 & Fire Arts 🔥 Workshop]

A ninja experience workshop held in nature!
Use your senses to gather information and experience ninja hide-and-seek by hiding in nature!
We will also hold a fire arts workshop where you can experience ninja fire-starting and torch-making.

<Purpose of the Event>

Information is not just text (messages) on social media or numbers in statistical data. Information is what people feel when they see, touch, and experience the world unfolding before them, and then put into words.

The main mission of a ninja is information gathering; they use their five senses to obtain living information and use that information to fight their enemies.

In this workshop, you will experience "ninjutsu" and use your five senses to catch information in the forest and in nature. What do you feel, what do you think, and what do you want to do? That is information warfare.

Based on the information gathered in nature, we will also try "Onko-jutsu" (the art of hiding). It is a ninja hide-and-seek where you experience the technique of touching, entering, and blending skillfully into nature.

Touch nature, which you rarely encounter in daily life, free your senses, make discoveries, and try things out. Knowing what you don't know is the first step of ninja activity; this is a ninja workshop for making new discoveries.
