Taïkan Jyoji

In 1989, Taïkan Jyoji was given the title of Kaikyo-shi (Founding Master) for Europe.

[3] In 1987, Taïkan Jyoji founded Falaise Verte Zen Centre, located in the Ardèche region of France, near the village of Saint Laurent du Pape.

The center is composed of a zendo, the meditation place, and a Kyūdō dōjō, where the Japanese art of archery is practiced.

In June 2010, the zendo was consecrated by a Japanese delegation of temple's masters led by Kancho Taïtsu Roshi, head of Myoshin-ji.

In March 2017, Taïkan Jyoji was honored by the Japanese Government, receiving a price for his cultural contributions.
