May not be a Ninpo/Ninjutsu school. May have originated in china circa Tang Dynaster era of 600-700 years earlier and via Korea.

Most Koga ryus came about in the feudal era, around 1400 A.D. but despite what many people think, Iga/Koga ryuha is not the oldest of ninja arts.

Iga/Kogo ryuha not being the oldest of ninja arts is quite interesting. Some say Korea's Sulsa may be older but that is a arguement I'll leave to those studying the Korean and Japanese Ninja systems. Would like to know of someone other than Koga/Iga having an older ninja art. Especially if we can agree on the semantics.
