Shorinji Kempo was founded 78 years ago today, on October 25, 1947, in Tadotsu, Kagawa, Japan, by Doshin So.
Its teachings, techniques, and spirit of camaraderie have spread to 40 countries and one region around the world.

In 2027, we will celebrate the 80th anniversary of its founding.
Let us come together with our friends from around the world to celebrate this milestone in Japan.
