Founder Ronin Soho
Founder Ronin Soho is the only North American ever to be knighted as a Samurai
Ronin Soho has done more to promote Samurai culture and Samurai Buddhism worldwide than any person in history. From building a Samurai Buddhist Museum near Daibutsu in Kamakura to house one of the world's top private collections of Samurai treasures to making the most comprehensive film on the Samurai to pay tribute to the great Japanese icons including Tokugawa, Shingen and Musashi to representing Samurai Bushido and Buddhist culture alongside the world's top experts including professors of Oxford and Harvard to even bringing Samurai Bushido and Buddhism to official events at the world's biggest forums from the Olympics to the US Congress, from official events with the Governments of Japan, Canada, USA, India and Israel to the world's foremost organizations and charities like the Simon Wiesenthal Center and Freemasons. Due to Soho's peerless contrubutions to the Samurai cause, he was specially honored as an Honorary Samurai by both the Tokugawa (Matsudaira) and Shingen Clans -- the highest authorities in all of Samurai heritage. Soho's life mission is to honor the historic pact between Prince Shotoku and Bodhidharma Daruma -- the national mascot of Japan. When Buddhism died out of India, Shotoku vowed to Daruma that he would preserve it in Japan. This is why the Japanese priest Surai Sasai is the most important monk in India saving the Buddhist heritage in the land where Buddha lived. Similarly, as Samurai Bushido culture is dying in Japan, Ronin Soho is the one who is doing the most to preserve and promote it for future generations. Soho thus has the Mandate of Heaven and the support of the preeminent Samurai clans as well as many Japanese patriots to complete this noble Mission. Fore more information, please visit RoninSoho.jp
