The Jodo Board is very excited to be able to announce that we have been able to secure the support of a very prestigious delegation led by Shiiya Mitsuo Sensei.

Kurogo Genji sensei. Jodo Hanshi 8 Dan Kendo Kyoshi 7 Dan Iaido 5 Dan
Tsuriga Toshiro sensei. Jodo Hanshi 8 Dan Kendo Kyoshi 7 Dan Iaido 5 Dan
Fujisaki Kouro sensei. Jodo Hanshi 8 Dan Kendo Kyoshi 8 Dan Iaido 5 Dan
Tsubaki Fumio sensei. Jodo Hanshi 8 Dan Iaido Kyoshi 7 Dan
Butsui Kazuko sensei Jodo 5 Dan.
The teaching delegation is accompanied by Butsui sensei. She has been a supporter of Jodo and Jodoka in Australia for some time and we welcome her attendance again this year.
To have a Jodo delegation of this level is a first for Jodo in Australia and perhaps the Oceania region.
This demonstrates not only the commitment of the board to bring top level instructors to Australia but more importantly, the commitment of this delegation to the development of Jodo in Australia.
The board strongly encourages all Jodo members to take advantage of this amazing opportunity and join us in Menai.
Our goal is to have a website and registration portal open ASAP and that we will be able to update any changes via both the website and other means.
Look forward to seeing you all in Menai, 12 – 14 April 2024
Regards,
Tom Johnson
Chairman Australian Jodo Board
