Parts of the Dojo
Just as any other building or room might have specific areas set out within it, so a dojo may have different areas or sections. The diagram below shows some of the main parts of any Karate dojo.
Shoman - The front of the dojo, this is traditionally the northern wall, or the wall opposite the dojo entrance. Joseki - The right side of the dojo where the most senior students line up. Shimoseki - The left side of the dojo where the most junior students line up. Shimoza - The back of the dojo. Kamiza - Literally the 'seat of gods', this is the position taken up by the instructors and any esteemed guests of the dojo. It does not confer a godlike status on the person(s) taking this position; simply respect.Some dojo have a center piece for the shoman side of the dojo. This is called the kamidana, and could display anything from a picture of the founding master of the style, to a display of weaponry. The kamidana and or kamiza (if there is truly a seat) may be set within a recess on the shoman side of the dojo. This recess is known as the tokonoma.
