Shurikens were made by the Japanese for the use of warfare. The Japanese wanted to have a weapon small enough to be easily concealed and carry around without anyone noticing. The name shuriken in Japanese mean "sword hidden in the hand." The art of weilding a shuriken is known as shuriken jutsu and was mainly taught as a minor. Shurikens are generally used by throwing and it could fly in a distance from the user to attack the opponent or object. Like ninjas who were most commonly known as assassins usually carry shurikens with them when they go on missions or other assassination attempts.
As the picture displayed above shurikens can have many different forms sizes and shapes to them. For example the picture on the right, there shurikens that looks like big needles which are called boshurikens, which is far different looking than a regular shuriken. Whether wielding any type of shuriken it takes a lot of time and effort to be adept at throwing them accurately at a directed target.
