Some have 'em, some don't (kamidana / kamiza).


In the first dojo I trained in, we would bow towards the weapons rack. In the one I'm in now, we bow towards the stereo system. All other places I've trained at have been outdoors, and we would bow towards a tree or just to the earth in general.

If there isn't anything in front of you that you feel is worth bowing to, then just form an image in your mind of something / someone you would like to pay respect to.
I've always been taught to bow toward the west if no kamidana/kamiza is present.

Depends on how far you go.... :) Eventually you hit Japan, or end up right back where you started lol... sorry, couldn't resist the joke.

Did you ask Randy or Doug?

Why would you want us to guess why they don't have one...

Perhaps they have a unnatural fear of ropes and pine...
Well? Did you ask?

What was your answer?

Curious...

I don't know, last time I stopped by the Calgary tenchijin I remember seeing something. I think it had rope on it but not sure about pine.
