The Far Wall
The front half of the dojo far wall contains three objects. The two scrolls, purchased in Kamakura, Japan, by Shihan Baker, depict an eagle and a tiger (left scroll) and a dragon and a tiger (right scroll). The center object is a framed kanji linen above photos from a seminar. The kanji depicted here is the character "Do" or "The Way" - as in karate-do or the way of the empty hand. Karate is, after all, a way of life for those who practice it.
