How to make a origami ninja star
Ninja Star (Shuriken) / Throwing Star A shuriken (Japanese 手裏剣; literally: “hidden hand blade”) is a Japanese concealed weapon that was used as a hidden dagger or Metsubushi to distract or misdirect.
Shuriken are commonly known in the West as throwing stars or ninja stars.
Contrary to popular belief, shuriken were not primarily intended as killing weapons, but rather in a secondary role as a nuisance or distraction.
Targets were primarily the more exposed parts of the body: the eyes, face, hands, or feet.
The shuriken would sometimes be thrown in a way that slashed the opponent in a glancing blow and travelled on, becoming lost, causing the opponent to believe that the cut had been made by an invisible swordsman.
