Metsubishi

Metsubishi (Blinding Powder) is one of the Ninja’s special weapons, in the old days the Ninja would carry Metsubishi in rice paper (they would rip open and throw the powder), secret rooms in a walking cane (or Eskrima stick for a more FMA version) or egg shell containers (look pic. above) which they would break either on their own shoulder, hip or a part of the enemy (like the attacking hand/fist)….

The way to make a egg shell container is you make a small hole in one end of the egg and a large in the other end, then you blow out the egg it self so there is only a empty egg shell left. This you now fill with your Metsubishi and plug it….
For training we used Baby Powder, since it does not hurt the opponent (training partner).

The more modern version of Metsubishi is pebberspray, which also can be hidden in things like ballpens or rings:

Below is a video of me and a student training Metsubishi with egg shell containers:
