Ninja characters
When #ninja wrote secret letters, they used special characters that only they could read in order to make the letters unreadable to others. Below are some of the characters, “Shinobi Iroha” and “Jindai Moji”
wood, fire, earth, gold, water, person, body (composed of the 5 Chinese characters + person and body)
These were matched with characters: color, blue, yellow, red, white, black, purple.
One explanation holds that these characters were used even prior to the bringing of #Chinese #characters to #Japan, and they appear squiggly like a snake.
