IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE

The unique sign of sport and Japanese architecture is dōjō of martial arts, being not exactly a work of art but to a greater extent a place of self-improving, endeavoring to physical, technical and spiritual perfection. Thus it is a place of passing down the definite cultural examples, in a way a place of education and enculturation, interesting for sociology of space (social ecology), psychology of anthropogenic space and anthropology of symbolic forms. These may be the buildings of the construction and image of elevations referring to the tradition or containing the elements of symbols, or also modern (e.g. modernistic), “post-modernistic” or eclectic in their contents, containing functional interiors (the training rooms proper) with their esthetics and unique atmosphere of the samurai tradition. In the rooms prepared for good, apart from usable value and arrangement established by the tradition, interior decorations are influenced by instructions of feng shui. 
The architecture of dōjō is to allow especially proper training work, teaching of budō rules, individual form of asceticism or also psychophysical recreation and contact with a fragment of the heritage of the culture of Far East. The rooms called dōjō, or also buildings of a given school, institute or sport center containing such a room, constitute special places, where the genius of human mind joins the output of technique and art, material, physical and spiritual culture. Moreover, a room or another place being the “place of the way” constitutes a laboratory, or a range for practical experience for the theory defined as anthropology of Far-Eastern martial arts.
