Wu's diary (also known as the Book of Spinjitzu[1]) is a journal in which Master Wu wrote lessons he had learned from his many years of experience to teach his students the way of the ninja and the art of Spinjitzu. Wu also wrote down his father's lessons there and used it as a diary where he wrote the most important events in his life.
History[]
Prior to the series[]
Wu kept an account of his own experiences of learning Spinjitzu. When he was young, Wu wrote the secrets he learned from the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, but when he was older and wiser, he placed a seal over it so no one would ever see it. At some points in his life, he stopped writing in it for years but resumed after Garmadon's banishment and while training the ninja.[2]
During The Hands of Time[]
Shortly before Wu disappeared, he was somehow aware that he would lose his memories, so he wrote a secret message in red to the book: "I will return in time ... Help me remember Spinjitzu."[1]
Way of the Departed[]
Lloyd found the Book of Spinjitzu and realized it was written by Wu after he was hit with the Time Punch. Lloyd's power connected with the book, revealing different passages when the time was right. One of these passages includes information about the Time Twins, who Wu realized were manipulated by Chen and Clouse. He also learned that it was Chen who told them where to look for the Great Devourer's eggs.
Master Class[]
Wu is seen holding and referring to the book while Kai is complaining about having to attend a Spinjitzu lesson, believing the ninja know everything there is to know.

Trivia[]
- This book exists in real life as The Book of Spinjitzu, which its design is based on.
- Wu has been shown with a few other lesson books before this one.
- In "Can of Worms," he has a lesson book that has the same appearance as the generic notebooks used by the ninja at the beginning of "Once Bitten, Twice Shy."
- In the Wu-Cru videos, he holds a lesson book.
- When asked if Wu's lesson book was the same as the Book of Spinjitzu, Tommy Andreasen simply noted, "It has the same cover."[3]
- According to Tommy Andreasen, there was the idea about creating shorts that would be "focused on lessons from Wu (lost in time) written down for Lloyd on secret pages in the book of Spinjitzu and had lots of new info." He wrote these shorts, but, however, due to its melancholic tone, they were reworked into Ninjago: Decoded.[4]
