Tales of the Ninja (Japanese: 忍者武芸帳, Hepburn: Ninja Bugeichō) (also known as Band of Ninja) is a 1967 Japanese film directed by Nagisa Ōshima. It is based on Sanpei Shirato's manga Ninja Bugeichō.[1][2][3][4] Rather than being an animated adaption, Ōshima decided to simply shoot the panels of the manga in order, adding narration and employing zooming and panning techniques.
