木村修交会空手道 kimura shūkōkai karatedō Kimura Shukokai Karate-Do

修交会 shūkōkai, an association for training and meeting, is the name Tani Chōjirō carved over his dōjō in Kobe after receiving his teacher's certificate from Mabuni Kenwa in 1946; the school's own English for it is the way for all. His senior pupil Kimura Shigeru taught in Africa, in England and, from 1970, in the United States, and the power-centered form he taught came to be called Kimura Shukokai.

With 木村 Kimura in front and 空手道 karatedō after, the design is the house's own Japanese for that English name, made for its members, in the order the English gives it.

We want you to be as happy with the meaning as you are with Master Takase's art. To learn more, visit Philology of 木村修交会空手道.

Each design is Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase's hand-brushed calligraphy of the word or phrase on this page, delivered as a PDF you can print. Every PDF includes the line art, so a tattoo artist or a craftsperson can work from the outline as well as the brushed image.

Your purchase includes a personal-use license: use the design as a tattoo reference, frame it, engrave it, print it for yourself, or make it into a gift. For more information see Licensing, which also covers commercial-use options that may be purchased separately.

Your PDF is available for download the moment your order completes, and a copy is attached to your emailed receipt.

If you need your design again later, ask us for it and we will send it.
