一剣天に倚って寒じ
（Ikken ten ni yotte susamaji）
“The sword soars alone into the sky.”
Calligraphy by Kodokai’s primary grand master Chutaro OGAWA (1901- 1992）
Would you like to try traditional Kendo and strive toward an understanding of the innermost secret “Ken-Zen-Ichimi” (Sword and Zen as One)? Or, experience the notion “One-sword technique multiplies into a million manipulations, and all techniques ascribe to the original one technique of Kiri-otoshi”?
“Kodokai” is a Unique Dojo Studio
You too can seek the mind of the swordsman.
Kodokai was founded in 1956 as an affiliate of NINGEN-ZEN, a religious corporation stemming from the Enkaku-ji Temple (Rinzai-Zen) in Kamakura, to give people of all ages an opportunity to practice Kendo and the basic Zen Meditation method of “Susokukan” (i.e. breath-counting and self-observation).
The key point of our Kendo is spiritual training mindful of “Sammai” (transcendental concentration) premised on the idea that the bamboo or wooden practice swords are live blades. We do not place emphasis on winning matches or acquiring ranks. Serious practice with intense mental concentration is what we consider important. This enhances our ability to control our behavior during challenging times during our daily lives.
Please come along if you are interested in this kind of Kendo and the Zen practice. Everybody is welcome irrespective of age, gender, or previous Kendo experience.

We are happy to arrange a time for inspection or a trial practice in English.
We are looking forward to meeting you!
