When you think Ninja, one of the first weapon you would think of is "Shuriken".
To commemorate the launch of Japan Ninja Council (an organization that collect and send out information for the purpose of vitalizing tourism and local economy through Ninja), beautiful shurikens were presented via crowdfunding.
There are two types of shurikens available: "pure silver" and "pure gold". They were both handmade by Matsumoto Kisho, the oldest medal manufacturer in Japan.
In Japan, owning and using shurikens will violate the law. However, these shurikens do not have proper blades, enabling anyone in Japan to purchase them.

This shuriken is also a part of a project called "Ninja Rise", which aims to promote Japanese Ninja contents overseas.
