It's actually a Japanese proverb - but applies directly to the game!
Now that you mention it...it makes perfect sense. Nice.
A little disappointed at the black pyjamas*, but still excited by this game.
* An interesting story on how that trope came about, quite possibly apocryphal but pretty cool if it's true: In Bunraku (traditional Japanese puppet theatre), the prop-handlers were in plain sight, but wore black clothing and hoods so as to not draw attention away from the puppets. By that convention, this outfit came to indicate invisibility, so later when ninja were portrayed on stage they were shown wearing similar clothing to indicate that they were invisible or unseen.
Yup, fully understood the reason for putting the imagery in the game, and I'm glad to see that plenty of the art that's shown up so far shows more accurate period clothing, too.
