Episode Synopsis
A traditional Japanese martial arts training hall, known as a dōjō, is treated with respect and maintained meticulously. Shomen, the front of the dōjō, is the place of honor and features a Shintō shrine and other artifacts.
Students and instructors enter the dōjō in designated locations based on their rank, and the dōjō kun (rules) are prominently displayed.
Weapons and training equipment are typically stored on the back wall, reflecting the importance of both respect for the training space and preparation for practice.
