Former Army Dojo
This is one-third of the entire dojo. Power sensei's office was in the next dojo to the right, and it was the same size. The dojo are on the south side of Camp Zama, and were used by foreign officer candidates (Manchuria, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, etc.). The pictured dojo was for the first-class students, my office (dojo) was for the second-class students. A third dojo was on the same hill, but at the top of the hill; it was for the third- class students.
