Inside the Shōtōkan, ca. 1940. Sitting in second row, left to right:

- Katsushima Rokuichirō (fourth person from the left)
- Uemura Tsunejirō 植村常次郎 (1906-2002), after the two Funakoshi(s) he was the third teacher at the Shōtōkan. Uemura was skilful in the field of Japanese calligraphy (Shodō), in which he even instructed his Karate teacher Funakoshi.
- Funakoshi Gigō 船越義豪 (1906-1945)
- Funakoshi Gichin 船越義珍 (1868-1957)
- Noguchi Hiroshi 野口宏 (1910-2002)
- unknown
- Hayashi Yoshiaki 林義明 (1907-1989), after the two Funakoshi(s) and Uemura he was the fourth teacher at the Shōtōkan
- Endō Kunio
- Egami Shigeru 江上茂 (1912-1981)

In the background wall, a Shintō shrine with the name of the three deities enshrined there: 香取大明神 / Katori Daimyōjin (left), 天照大御神 / Amaterasu-Ōmikami (center), 鹿島大明神 / Kashima Daimyōjin (right).

On top to the right, it is attached the motto 無手人行拳 / mute jin kōken - "The weaponless man is travelling with the fist". The phrase was originating from "The Quiet Hermitage", a Chinese collection of zen buddhist kōan (a 公案 / kōan is a riddle, problem or story handed down from the ancient Zen masters, that is offered to a student to open the student's eyes to the truth of Zen). Herein "fist" can be seen as the martial art of Karate, which is described as a travelling utensil.

On top to the left, it is attached the aphorism 修文奮武 / shūbun funbu - "Study literature, invigorate the martial art" or "Cultivate the literature, awake the martial art". In principle it states that a martial arts practitioner's physical training alone is not enough, so intellectual (i.e. non-physical) abilities must also be nurtured.

El legado de Oyama

Mucho es lo que se ha escrito sobre el Kyokushin y la leyenda de Mas Oyama, pero si nos fijamos casi siempre es la misma historia repetida una y otra vez. Es muy dificil conocer porque el Kyokushin de hoy dia se diferencia en tantos aspectos de lo practicado por Oyama, es dificil conocer a la persona tras la leyenda y aun mas teniendo en cuenta lo poco que realmente conocemos de ello. Si ya es dificil conocer la historia del Karate en okinawa aun mas parece que es conocer la historia de sus descendientes en Japon, tanto el Shotokan, como el Goju ryu y sus derivados tienen una historia oculta que han querido tapar y el Kyokushin no es una excepcion. Desde esta pagina intentaremos poner algo de luz entre tanta sombra.
