The star shuriken could also could be the "invisible attacker." If a guard or enemy stood out in a cleared area, the ninja hidden in shrubs or beside a wall would throw shurikens in a spinning manner. The blades would cut the startled enemy and then fly off into the grass or dirt out of sight. The bewildered enemy, havine been slashed by an invisible swordsman, would then take off to seek help, leaving the area unguarded. Though a shuriken can hardly go thru an armor protection, it was mostly thrown at unarmed targets. Venom was used on shuriken sometimes. Shuriken WomenDuring Ancient times in Japan,women were known to carry certain weapons for self-protection. They wore harpins with beautiful designs,but what people couldn't see was the blade that was concealed in their hair. If an attacker were to come around,they would remove the hairpin and throw it either at the attackers eyes or throat.
