SHINOBI – The Warriors of the Shadows
From August 12 to October 30, and from November 1 to 17, 2025

The word “ninja” sounds familiar… but how much do you really know about their history?

Behind this legendary name lies an entire world still largely unknown to the general public.

Dive into the mystery of the shadow warriors: the NINJA.

Long shrouded in the shadows of history, these masters of stealth from feudal Japan are finally revealed through an exceptional exhibition. Discover a rare collection assembled by Christophe Ayen, Dai-Shihan Jûgodan (Grand Master Instructor), trained in Japan under the last Soke (family head), Hatsumi Masaaki. A unique opportunity to explore the authentic world of Ninjutsu.

For everyone’s enjoyment, Christophe Ayen will showcase part of his collection, recognized as one of the largest private Ninja weapon and tool collections in the world (outside of Japan)!

From samurai and ninja armor to authentic Edo-period weapons, traditional kimonos, ancient prints, and original calligraphy by Grandmaster Hatsumi… Each item is accompanied by explanatory documents shedding light on the history, techniques, and culture of these warriors of the shadows.

Don’t miss this chance to discover a fascinating legacy!
