World Shorinji Kempo Organization (“WSKO”)

Shorinji Kempo was created in Japan but it started spreading to the rest of the world in the late 1960s. Today, it is taught and practiced in 40 countries and 1 region worldwide. All the country federations and their branches of WSKO are actively engaged not only in the training of Shorinji
Kempo but also in various social service activities.

Shorinji Kempo which was created by one person, Doshin So, now functions as a heart-to-heart bridge connecting people all over the world and promotes vigorous international exchanges across boundaries of race, culture, religion, and language.

“Strength and love in harmony” expresses the proper way to act and to live. “Unity of Ken and Zen” expresses the training method for making this way of life your own 🙏🏼

12 May is Kaiso Memorial Day (開祖忌) 🙏🏼

Shorinji Kempo is a discipline for human development and is for all people regardless of age, race and gender 🙏🏼

In 2027 we will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of Shorinji Kempo

History of Budo
Hyogo Prefectural Budokan in Himeji (兵庫県立武道館)

Shorinji Kempo has six characteristics: ken zen ichinyo, riki ai funi, shushu koju, fusatsu katsujin, go ju ittai, and kumite shutai 🙏🏼

Kaiso realized that the creation of good human relations led to feelings of hope and fulfillment. Thus, Shorinji Kempo is not simply satisfied with an individual becoming stronger alone, but strongly believes in the collaborative improvement of all those involved in training as they strive to improve themselves together 🙏🏼
