Ninja training at the museum! “The NINJA ~Ninja is Nanja!?~” will be held at Mie Prefectural Museum MieMu

From October 25th, 2016 to January 9th, 2017, the Mie Prefectural Museum MieMu will hold a special exhibition titled ``The NINJA ~ Are Ninjas Nanja!?'' It would be held! This experience that masters the mind, skills, and body is a project that anyone can enjoy using light and sound. Click here for event information

In this special exhibition, we will explore not only the materials and tools used by ninjas, but also the mysteries of ninjas while enjoying the training experience.

As you enter the entrance, you will find the Ninja Research Room, where you will find all sorts of ninja materials, including ninja-related books, posters for ninja movies, and ancient ninja art books.

There is also a ninja dojo where you can train your mind, technique, and body, and an introductory theater at the entrance. Here, you will receive an explanation from the ninja Laozi, and begin with physical training.

First, learn how to walk. This is a ``shinobi-ashi'' technique where you learn how to walk without making any noise so that your enemies won't notice you. When you walk, you can see the wavelength on the monitor, so if you walk in a way that makes footsteps sound, the wavelength will fluctuate greatly and the red light will turn on!

I asked them to walk slowly, but it was quite difficult and everyone ended up turning on the red lights. Ninja training is tough...

Click here for the video. Even though you are walking slowly, the red light will still come on and the enemy will notice you. It's a challenge!

This is "Jumping over the sunflower" to train your flying ability. The height is written, so let's jump over it! If you can jump over it, a blue light will shine.

In the shuriken throwing corner, aim for the target and throw well. The ninja group "Asura" in the photo threw shuriken, and all of them hit the mark! As expected, ninjas are different.

In collaboration with this exhibition, a Mie Food Travel Passport designed by Nemu Yumemi will be issued by Dempagumi.inc! Click here for information on how to obtain a passport [Dempagumi.inc Nemu Yumemi Design Mie Food Travel Passport will be issued! ]
I've hidden the quiz part in white, but you can see it if you come to the site! You can also enjoy taking a commemorative photo with Nemu-san.

It is a training that trains the five senses such as sight, hearing, and touch. The idea is to guess something by touching something you can't see on the other side of the shoji screen...touching something you can't see makes you nervous!

Next is the "techniques" corner. Weapons such as shurikens that are said to have been used by ninjas are on display, allowing you to learn more about ninjas. The project is based on Mie University's academic research results, so you can learn about ninjas from a different scientific perspective.

And in the ``techniques'' corner, there is ``Nanja Otaki'', and when you take a pose, the image of the waterfall is reflected and changes appear on the screen. You can check the poses in advance, so please try with confidence.

Finally, move to the second floor and receive your ninja certificate at the spiritual training theater. If you come this far, you'll be able to see ninjas that you never knew existed. Please enjoy this project, which is not only fun to see but also a fun experience to practice, at the Mie Prefectural Museum!
