Shofukan, based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, offers the study and practice of authentic Japanese disciplines in an environment that breathes Japan and is most inspiring. The centre operates from a 1929 nursery school building in Oud Charlois, Rotterdam, which these days features a Japanese garden, a roji (tea garden), Senshin-an (an authentic Japanese tea house in soan style), a Japanese dojo, and multiple class rooms.
Evidently, a visit to the center is well worth the effort, but these spaces are used for lessons and training, workshops, exhibitions, lectures, and events - all in the field of the Japanese arts and crafts. To ensure high standards, the center co-operates with teachers and organizations in Europe and from Japan. At this time, the disciplines that can be studied are chanoyu, do-in, ikebana, Japanese language, koryu bujutsu (also for kids), shiatsu, shinto, and shodo. More info on our web site www.shofukan.nl.
