About this site
mejiro.info is a website that shares information about karate from Tokyo.
The English edition is published at mejiro.info, and the Japanese edition is published at mejiro.info/ja/.
This site focuses on the history, culture, philosophy, social background, overseas reception, and related literature of karate. Rather than treating karate only as a practical art or sport, it aims to approach karate as a subject of research, liberal learning, and cultural understanding.
The name “Mejiro” (目白,めじろ) comes from the fact that karateka Mas Oyama (大山倍達,おおやまますたつ,최영의) once held an open-air dojo in Mejiro, Toshima City, Tokyo.
