The Japanese Culture Center in Chicago, IL, founded in 1977 by Aikido Shihan Teacher of Teachers and Zen Master Fumio Toyoda, is dedicated to making the martial arts, crafts, and philosophical treasures of Japan accessible to the public. Offering classes in over a dozen martial and cultural arts, the center provides a unique opportunity for individuals to actively engage in ancient traditions that have been passed down through generations.
As a true Dojo, or House of the Way, the Japanese Culture Center is not just a museum but a living school where participants become active learners in arts that have thrived for centuries. With a focus on the universal mind, body, and spirit, the center invites visitors to immerse themselves in the richness and complexity of Japanese knowledge and experience the profound cultural heritage cultivated around the world.
