Kunoichi: Japan's Hidden Female Ninja Assassins They Erased from History

The kunoichi—female ninja operatives of feudal Japan—were systematically erased from history, their techniques forbidden from being written down, and their contributions deliberately obscured. This documentary uncovers the true story of women like Mochizuki Chiyome, who built sophisticated intelligence networks by recruiting society's forgotten women and training them in espionage techniques that allowed them to operate in plain sight. Discover why these shadow operatives were more effective than their male counterparts in many situations, how they infiltrated the inner chambers of enemy strongholds, and why historians worked so hard to erase them from the historical record. 🎬 Subscribe for more untold Japanese history 💬 Which kunoichi technique surprised you most?
