Up until now we have not been in a position to progress the inquiries past initial stages so we thought we would enter into a bit of research over the winter months to put us in a better position in the future.
We have come across a number of terms used, so I thought it might be an idea to explore these first.
Kyoka (curriculum board) - I believe Kyoka translates to permission or authority
Menkyo (Licence) used in the classical dan grading system
Densho - A set of Makimono (Maki)
Maki - scrolls
Mokuroku - syllabus or catalogue
We have prepared three graphics to give you an idea of the sort of end results that could be achieved.
The scrolling image is above is our representation of Yamaoka Tesshu's Niju Kun. He was the founder of the Itto Shoden Muto Ryu which was a kenjutsu style.
The second mokuroku is our representation of just the first board of a dojo mokuroku. It includes the name of the Association and the kata name and the fourty-three moves from hitotsugachi (one-victory) through to hari (sweeping away).
The final example is again just the first board of a dojo mokuroku covering the Shoden (beginning transmission) It details Yawara (hand arts) and covers the twenty basics from katate hazushi (outside wrist grab release) to hagai shime (full-nelson escape)
Our specialty is in graphic design, layout and manufacture of your mokuroku. We do not offer a translation service as content is very detailed. You will need to supply us with an electronic copy of the contents, ideally in "Word" or similar. We can not work from Jpeg or picture images.
A guide to costings are below, international postage for very long items is very expensive so would need to be quoted on a job by job basis.
