Butoku Kai

Dai Nippon Butoku Kai (DNBK) (Kyūjitai; Shinjitai: Greater Japan Martial Virtue Society) was established in Kyoto, Japan in 1895 under the authority of the Ministry of Education and sanction of the Emperor Meiji. Its purpose, at that time was to standardize martial disciplines and systems throughout Japan. This was the first official martial arts organization sanctioned by the government of Japan. It stressed the martial virtues of Samurai warrior and incomparable historical excellence in martial disciplines.
In 1946, after the end of World War II the SCAP (the supreme commander of allied powers) issued a directive to dissolve all military related organizations, and the DNBK was broken up. In 1953, the present day Dai Nippon Butoku Kai was reestablished with a new charter and the new philosophical vision.
The DNBK aims to improve international understanding and world peace through promotion of martial arts training, education and service.
