Whats the origin of the all-black-with-face-mask ninja outfit?
The “all-black-with-face-mask” is for the sole purpose of concealing identity. Do keep in mind that some ninja were samarai by day and ninja at night. It definately was not a fashion statement. Concealing one’s identity also plays a psychological game with his or her adversary. Masks were worn as a method of intimadation, petrifying the victim. For we all know that it is easier to defeat your enemy mentally than physically.
