Shoheijuku Hombu Dojo 30th Anniversary Embukai Held
On July 20 (a public holiday), we held an embukai and a seminar at the Fukuoka Budokan to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Shoheijuku Hombu Dojo.
I extend my deepest gratitude to the many members from dojos outside the prefecture who participated in the event.
A total of 160 people attended the seminar, while 110 attended the celebration.
Harima Shoheijuku 25th Anniversary
On Saturday, July 25, an event commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Harima Shoheijuku led by Mr. Toshihiro Horiuchi was held at the martial arts hall of the Takasago City General Gymnasium.
Approximately 70 people attended the seminar, and about 40 attended the social gathering.
The “Hana-no Aikido” embu held in memory of Mrs. Hiroko Horiuchi was particularly memorable, especially as it included the participation of a young boy.
I am sure Hiroko-san was also watching the “Hana-no Aikido” from heaven, gazing upon it with a gentle, happy smile.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who traveled from far and wide to join in the celebration.
