Koken-jiai (交剣之愛)

The deep bond forged with fellow kendo practitioners is one of the greatest treasures of Kendo. This friendship transcends time and distance, enduring wherever life may lead us. It inspires, encourages, and strengthens us through every stage of our journey. Koken-jiai (交剣之愛) the fellowship and affection born through crossing swords—may well be one of the highest values that modern Kendo seeks to uphold.
