    Question The role of Shintoism in dojo design?

    Hello,

    I'm looking for information, articles, books, resources on the role Shintoism has played in influencing the traditional Japanese dojo.

    Any input or direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    John

    Bernie Lau suggests these books for designing a dojo:

    Anderson, L.O. How to Build a Wood-Frame House (New York: Dover Publishers, 1973).
    Itoh, Teiji. Kura: Design and Tradition of the Japanese Storehouse (Tokyo: Kodansha, 1973).
    Watanabe, Yasutada. Shinto Art: Ise and Izumo Shrines (New York: John Weatherhill, 1974).

    Some pictures appear at http://ejmas.com/jcs/jcsart_svinth_1101.htm .

    Thanks very much Joseph. I've located two of the mentioned books, and will keep an eye out for the other.
