Paladin Press published a book called "Tao of Ninpo, Way of Life, Way of Death" by some feller named Barry Ichman in or around 1986. A few years back I came across a copy of the book at a Military Surplus store in a box of books that included old manuals, a Garfield graphic book and Stephen King's Misery.
Does anyone know who this guy is? I found this book again when I was digging through my garage for something else. I haven't finished the book yet, but I was wondering if anyone else has heard of him. From what I have read so far, on a scale he seems closer to SKH than Ashida Kim...it looks like later in the book it ref: the Mandala (like SKH) and addresses the Kuji (as must have been mandatory in 80's ninja books).
He uses no japanese terminology and wears the Hollywood ninja suit from Kmart's halloween department.
Just asking...
