History
At this sacred site of Minobu, countless practitioners have walked the rigorous path of training, their footsteps carved into the very name Shimabo. Among the pilgrims I have watched, many have tempered their bodies and minds and been reborn into their true selves. Though the training path is steep, the light of enlightenment that awaits never ceases to shine.
