[Human Dissection Series 3] A Word from Someone Living Happily Now: World KARATE Doji Federation Shidokan Director, Yoshiji Soeno, Nekko

Hardback Tsuchiya Shoten / As a human being, deep in the memories that remain in the heart, the life philosophy of 'Kofashi' is something that transforms the entire human life, dragged along by the threads of life. If you see the synonym KARATE in the outer and natural environments, then countless small specks of dust rise up about the battle of victory or defeat, and at times, a major storm strikes. There is a man who overcame all of it and stood firm from the front.

Maybe it was lonely, maybe it was frustrating. But there was a man who put his soul into every 'fist' and worked hard to train his disciples, making a name for himself as a world-class KARATE family. That man was Yoshiji Soeno, the director of the Shidokan.
