Answer» What is Dai Nippon Butoku Kai mean? Dai Nippon Butoku Kai (DNBK, Japanese: 大日本武徳会, English: "Greater Japan Martial Virtue Society") was a martial arts organization with strong ties to WWII-era Japanese government, originally established in 1895 in Kyoto. Following the end of World War II, the DNBK changed its status from a public to a private organization. Enrollment fell significantly from millions to hundreds and it lost its authority to govern all martial arts organizations in Japan. In 1946, due to its association with the Japanese Military during wartime, the GHQ dissolved the DNBK. The following years, more than 1,300 leaders and officials of the DNBK were purged—ostracized, lost their jobs, and were forbidden to take any government position. In 1953, a new unrelated DNBK was established with a new philosophical vision of preserving the long-standing illustrious classical martial virtues and traditions. reference nan |
