Geography of kendo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kendo originated in Japan, but is today practiced worldwide.
The size and depth of kendo skill varies widely from country to country. Some countries have few kendo practitioners, while Japan has several million.
Generally, kendo has stronger traditions in countries with strong historical ties to Japan, like Korea and Taiwan, as well as countries with large Japanese immigrant communities such as the United States, Canada and Brazil.[citation needed] While the term kendo is used all over the world, the term Kumdo is used in Korea.
