More about 拳法

拳法 is kempo, a martial art of the fist. The same word also names the Chinese martial arts known in English as kung fu.

The Japanese word 拳法 meaning "Kempo" is composed of the kanji 拳 (read ken) meaning "fist" and 法 (read hō) meaning "method; law; rule".

Kempo as a hand-brushed scroll

Master Takase personally brushes your scroll when you order, and it bears her red seal and her signature. The scroll has real silk borders and layered Japanese paper, so it hangs straight, and it arrives ready to display.
