October 25th, Karate Day – A Master Class at Shuri

Karate Day Masters Demonstration at Shuri Castle, Naha, Okinawa

After the earlier demonstrations in the shicha-nu-una, the final events of karate day took place in the forecourt of Shuri Castle. Eight of the most senior karate masters in the world each performed a kata. Of the eight, I’ve only photographed Zenpo Shimabukuro sensei which just shows how much further we have to go with the Karate Masters Portrait Project.
