Gassho.
The new issue of the Hiden Budo & Bujutsu magazine will be out in Japan on the 12th of january.
This issue features Shorinji Kempo.

There is some information on this on the Shorinji Kempo Hombu homepage (http://www.shorinjikempo.or.jp) . It is possibly, through ones shibu-cho to order the magazine from Hombu for 1100 yen, if you don't have the posibility to pick it up in your bookstore (in Japan).

There are some info on the Hiden homepage on this issue:

Gassho,
I just got a copy of the "Hiden" magazine Feb issue (a brother travelling from Japan to here at the right timing comes in handy). I thought I'd give a quick summary of it... I just had enough time to skim through it & haven't read it in detail yet. I'll probably do that this weekend.

Great article, covering the history, as well as:
Mori-sensei's Juho and some Goho
Kawashima -sensei's Shakujo (the stick/staff)
Busen School
34 full pages in all. I'd say worth the 1100yen (~US$8.50 @ 130yen/US$) for me. There are quite a bit of pictures, but bit difficult to follow without reading the text.
