Hand Seals Guide PDF

Ninjas use hand seals to focus their chakra and perform jutsu. Hand seals come from the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac and stem from Hindu and Buddhist iconography. Each seal is associated with a direction and month. Different clans and techniques may use specific seals like Snake for Earth techniques. While most ninjas use two-handed seals, Haku was able to perform one-handed seals due to his kekkei genkai.
