Karate kata syllabus boards - Mokuroku

We were excited to launch our range of  karate syllabus boards in Shotokan and Wado ryu formats. We worked with senior instructors in each style to develop the boards to represent an accurate mainstream list of each ryu's kata. We are aware that there are many variants within each ryu and so each board can be customised for a particular Association.

We are happy to produce totally custom mokuroku if required, but we are also interested in expanding the range into further styles. 

If you practice a mainstream style that is not currently covered, we will review if we can pick up all of the initial development design and costs. Hopefully it will lead to further sales in your style in the future.


In this layout we have the 15 Wado ryu kata, the overall size is 865 x 266mm.

Chosen kana / kanji

We extensively research and selected what we believe to be recognised kana / kanji for each kata. Many kata borrow the name from the Okinawan name, which also might use a weapons name, the Fuzhou language, Southern Min (Fujian) language or go further back and use the Chinese standard language.

We use translations that are verified over a number of sources, but there are many other translations used. So if your group uses a different set of kanji for a name or uses the katakana we are happy to customise to your requirements.

Current costings can be found in the relevant shop page please click on the button below to view.

Wado ryu kata Mokuroku

We are excited to launch our range of  karate syllabus boards and for Wado ryu we have available a couple of formats;

The Wado ryu Mokuroku - Maple in black wooden frame


In this layout we have the 15 Wado ryu kata, the overall size is 865 x 266mm.

Not all organisations will practice exactly the same kata and call them by the same name, so you will have the option to e.g. change Wadoryu to your dojo or association, add a logo or change / remove a kata etc.

The Wado ryu Mokuroku / Makki in black Aluminium frame

So this is our version of a scroll (Makki) mounted in a curved black aluminium frame with a clear plastic protective face. The frames are drilled for fixing to the wall and the scroll and the plastic film is just clipped back into the frame. This is the same framing material we used for the modular curved nafudakake (members name boards).

The Shotokan Mokuroku - Traditional layout - Maple in black wooden frame

The Shotokan Mokuroku - Long layout - Maple in black wooden frame


In the long layout we have placed the 26 Shotokan kata the overall size is 1435 x 266mm.

Magic Mokuroku - Hakkoryu Jujutsu

 After many, many hours we are getting to the end of this project, a small amount of finishing fitting mirror plates etc and it will be ready for shipping. 
Very happy with the results of the strong contrast of the kanji on the maple, wrapped in the ever popular black frame. 
Our customer was a bit limited for wall space in his dojo so they have been scaled down and custom made to fit. As always we specialise in custom. 
The Syllabus boards were for a Hakkoryu Jujutsu dojo in Texas and covered the Shodan to Yondan syllabus. each board was broken down into Suwari, Han Tachi and Tachi waza. The kanji for the boards was supplied by the client in a frmat that could be imported into our software package, after that the font was changed to a script type font and carefully positioned.

 We plan to launch a range of kata Mokuroku / Kyoka for karate ryu at the back end of next month with an exciting "give away" planned, so keep dropping by.

If you have a project in mind just drop us a E mail to sotosabisu@btinternet.com

Oval Inkan Format

 We were recently asked to produce an inkan with a full name. 

Traditionally a single name is used and it is the name you are known by. So in the east this is normally your Surname and in the west typically your Christian name. If you do require both the normally round format does not really work so we opt for a oval format, which is also quite common in Japan.
