About Shikukai

Dojo Introduction

Shikukai Dojo, a kendo dojo in Miyamae Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Founded in 1989, it aims to provide international Bushido education for adults through kendo and to foster the healthy development of children. The name Shikukai embodies the wish that “even as adults, they will continue to cherish kendo for a long time.” While long committed to the sound development of youth, in recent years it has also focused on Bushido education through practice and instructs kendo practitioners from overseas.
