Notes/コメント:

Shorinji Kempo Hiroshima Motomachi Doin is in the Naka Ward of Hiroshima City, Japan. Shorinji Kempo was founded in 1947 by So Doshin , a former Japanese military intelligence officer in China before and during World War II. It is apparently a modified version of Shaolin Kung Fu. Shorinji Kempo is both a martial art and a quasi-religious/educational institution. It is headquartered in Kagawa Prefecture and the headquarters is modeled after a Buddhist temple. The Motomachi Doin is run by Watadani Shinichi and teaches adults and children. 

I took this picture after getting lost in Hiroshima during my weekend trip there during my semester in Japan in 2013.
