THE MEANING OF KODENKAN
The above seal reads Ko Den Kan No In. In it's
truest meaning, it stands for the Way of Life as
envisioned by Professor Okazaki. Literally, it translates to:
- Ko - Ancient, Olden Times, or Senior
- Den - Tradition, Transmission
- Kan - School
Seal of the School of Ancient Tradition, or school in which
the seniors transmit tradition. Traditionally, a seal such as this,
stamped in a special orange or red ink, authenticated documents,
such as certificates of rank and scrolls. This is the original
seal used by Professor Okazaki. The Institute is dedicated to the
Kodenkan Way of Life. Professor Okazaki's dojo was also
known as the Kodenkan.
