Kunai, or heavy pointed objects, for getting through walls. Mizugumo, which is a set of wooden shoes which supposedly let them walk on water. Ninjas also had a wide variety of weapons: Short swords and daggers Akatana, which is a long, curved, one sided sword, was the most popular weapon. Kusarigama, which is a knife-like thing on a stick, with a spiked ball on the end of a chain. They also used Shuriken, which are darts, spikes, knives, and most commonly, sharp, star shaped discs. Later on they added in explosives as they were invented, such as grenades, and bombs filled with smoke or poison gas. They also used blowguns, poison darts, blinding powder, and firearms later on.

He then wrote a famous Japanese book: A Book of Five Rings. Ashikaga Takauji was another famous samurai. He brought down the Hojo Shikken, which was a major political leader in the time. He was a daimyo, which means that he owned a large plot of land, and he led the Ashikaga clan. He created an office in the capital, called the Buygo-sho, which was responsible for governing the city.
