The Ichikukai Dōjō (一九会道場) is a place for training in Misogi-no-kokyu-ho (a
Shinto purification through breathing practice) and
Zen meditation. The Misogi practiced at the Ichikukai traces its roots to Inoue Masagane.
[1]
The dōjō was founded in 1922 by members of the Tokyo University Rowing Team along with Ogura Tetsuju, the last disciple of swordsman and calligrapher Yamaoka Tesshu. [2] The Ichikukai has a reputation for severity. A number of well-known martial artists (esp. aikido) have trained there. [3] [4]
