Actually, it worked out nicely as this was one of the few rainy days we had in Tokyo, so it was nice to have something to do inside. For this special experience, it was just the boys as the girls had their day to go shopping in Tokyo. While still in Tokyo for the cherry blossom tour, I arranged an experience at a small dojo to learn about life as a ninja, the tools/weapons ninjas used and even to learn a few moves. Or a ninja throwing star! Arthur agreed, his grumpiness disappearing.Tour of Japan | Ninja Experience Apr 19 | Evan | No Comments | Arthur, let’s write a letter to Oda Nobu! Maybe he’ll write back and send us an autographed picture! Where’s the fun in that?īut then he had an idea. He pulled off the white cloth around his head. Is there nothing you fellows can do that doesn’t make a ruckus? called Mr. He and his brother chased each other around their bedroom, leaping on and off their beds with thuds and booms as they imitated the karate chops and kicks of their all-time favorite movie star, Oda Nobu.īoys! Mrs. By now, Stanley’s family was used to his unusual shape, although Stanley wasn’t always so happy about it.Īt the moment, however, he was enjoying himself tremendously. Not long before, he had awoken to find that a large bulletin board had fallen upon him in the night, leaving him unharmed, but as flat as a pancake. The small ninja was Arthur’s older brother, Stanley Lambchop. It is you who will be defeated, Stanley-san!
Never! Arthur leaped up, bounced high on the other bed, and landed with a boom on the opposite side of the room. Prepare to be defeated, Arthur-san! the small ninja cried. He bounced high on the bed and landed with a thud in front of Arthur! Both warriors looked as if they could leap right out of the poster.Īnd then the small ninja did just that! "Hiii- yaaaah!" he shouted, as he flew off the wall. He held his hands high, like the blades of knives ready to strike. The small ninja was dressed exactly like Arthur, in black pajamas with a strip of white cloth knotted at his waist and another tied around his forehead. The tall samurai wore a long kimono and held a shining silver sword above his head. It showed two warriors-a tall samurai and a small ninja-looking very fierce. The poster was for a movie called The Seventeenth Samurai. I salute you, Master Oda Nobu, greatest of all Samurai warriors!Īrthur Lambchop bowed deeply from the waist as he spoke these words to the large poster hanging in the bedroom he shared with his brother, Stanley.
