If you’ve ever been mad at your teacher for not giving your high scores for an assignment you spent so much time on, let us tell you that you probably didn’t try hard enough!
This Japanese girl of Ninja History impressed the teacher with the most creative answer sheet of all time...
... an essay written in invisible ink!

We learnt that it’s a ninja technique, known as ‘aburidashi’ and the only way to read it is by heating the paper over a gas stove! We don’t even know what to say.

Fimi Haga spent hours soaking and crushing soybeans to make the ink just because the professor said there would be marks for creativity. And here we are, googling proverbs and idioms to score some ‘creativity’ points. Nowhere near… but at least we tried.

The professor mentioned that he was surprised that the student used the technique for he has never seen anyone doing it before.
The student, an ardent fan of ninjas (covert agents and assassins in medieval Japan) didn’t mind going the extra mile when was asked to write about a visit to the Ninja Museum of Igaryu.
She soaked the soybeans overnight, then crushed them before squeezing it in a cloth and mixing the extract with water. That took some good two hours to get the concentration right before she could write her essay.
Well, even if her content was ‘meh’, we’d all still give her A++++ for effort!
And we’re happy that the professor recognized her efforts!
Thinking about which, let’s go down memory lane for a bit, what have you done to gain some creativity points?
We wonder…
