The Japanese Culture Center (JCC) in Chicago, established in 1977 by Aikido Shihan and Zen Master Fumio Toyoda, aims to share the rich martial arts and cultural traditions of Japan with the public. Offering classes in various disciplines such as Aikido, Ikebana, and Zen Meditation, the JCC serves as a living school where skills and knowledge are actively passed down through generations.
Emphasizing the philosophy of personal participation, the JCC fosters an environment similar to traditional training halls, inviting individuals to experience the depth of Japanese arts and culture. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by carved characters representing Ten Shin Kan, reflecting the center's commitment to the unity of mind, body, and spirit.
