Hello!
Does anyone know where I might be able to find a picture of the insignia used by the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai?
Thank you in advance for your help!

George,

I believe it is on their website. Be wary, though. The DNBK is an active organization and they don't want non-members displaying their symbol ... and if I recall correctly, members may display it, but only with written permission.

Regards,
Guy

Guy,
Thank you for the quick reply!
Actually, I'm doing research...no intention of copying it!
I'v recently located an iron fan with what I believe is their mark on it. Just looking to verify!
I searched for a website for the organization and found one however, it won't open. Any suggestions?

Dear Guy,
Just a note to let you know that I tried a different search engine and came up with another site and located the logo.
As it turns out, the logo on my fan is the same!
Thank you for your help!
Best...
George

George,

The fan sounds very interesting -- is it an old one? What can you tell me about it (did you buy it? is it a real fan with iron outer ribs and bamboo inner ribs, any writing, etc)... I have an interest in DNBK stuff.

Thanks,
Guy
