Project INAHO-KAI Brooch

INAHO-KAI is a worldwide association of all Shihan 9th Dan, founded by Hanshi 10th Dan Masako Fujimoto-Stock.

Its function is to collect and discuss the Karatedo Doshinkan Dōjō leaders’ interests and suggestions, which are then passed on to Hanshi via the Kaichō, the association’s chairman and speaker.

INAHO is a ripe ear of rice grown in the rice field, which, by bending its head, indicates the peak of its ripeness. An adequate symbol for all Shihan, who with their commitment, knowledge and experience support Hanshi and all members.

Designed by Renshi 6th Dan Petra Stelzmüller for and together with Hanshi the INAHO-KAI brooche symbolizes this dignity.
It can be awarded by Hanshi Masako only.

Designed in Austria — the cradle of Karatedo Doshinkan
Produced in Japan — the birthplace of traditional Karatedo
