What is 'strength'? 70 words from Sōdōshin, founder of Shorinji Kempo
Supervised by: Yuki So, Composition: Yoshitaka Suzuki / Published 2012 (Small B6 size)
Shin (Bunshun Shinsho) Bungeishunju / Shorinji Kempo, boasting 1.7 million members worldwide, is not just a martial art. At 16, the young man Sugumichi travels to mainland China as a military special agent and learns various martial arts, only to face defeat in Manchuria. Witnessing the candid actions of soldiers and others under extreme circumstances, he became convinced that to achieve true peace, it is necessary to improve the 'quality of people' who become leaders. For the past 65 years, he has committed to nurturing people with strong compassion, courage, and a sense of justice.
"Even if 100 small fry gather together, they're still weak fodder," "Don't abandon yourself," "It's okay, just try to go too far"—. This book is a fierce collection of 70 carefully selected quotes from the vast collection left to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth. As the recommendation from author Bin Konno suggests, "Kindness backed by strength. Perhaps something only needed in today's lost Japan," the book reads as a cheer to break through the sense of stagnation in contemporary Japan.
