Ninja swords Ninjatō

The ninja sword Ninjatō should have been worn obliquely on the back in contrast to the katana of the samurai. This should supposedly allow a greater freedom of movement of the wearer: When climbing and crawl a long sword on the side would have been a hindrance. The reason for this is also the brevity: a longer sword would have been difficult to pull out of the scabbard over the shoulder. Also resulted from this particular sword a different way of fighting than that of the samurai.
