Shindai

[Genin Andrew]

HEY GUYS,Just want to clear something up and hopefully get some information.I read recently about the Ninja having their own writing style known as "Shindai",The characters from what i've seen are a more "squiggly" looking style.Can anyone help me get info on Shindai and tell me whether this is correct?

No, Shindai were not ninja only. In fact, the matter is complicated and not really worth discussing unless you are actively involved in the history of a real ninja tradition. And the correct pronunciation is not Shindai in any case. It is realted more to Shinto (and the Kuki tradition in the Bujinkan) rather than with the Togakure ryu per se.

Still waiting for one of you guys to give me the contact info for that dojo in Kyoto you claim has existed since 1958 but no one in Japan seems aware of.
