Memorial - Shinto Gate

I had some cocktail umbrellas which i used to compose the above image



I was truly amaze to see these oriental style stones in rememberance of Master Sosai Masutatsu Oyama, founder of Kyokushin karate in this little town of ours.

Later, I found out that it's call Shinto Gate, one of the younger memorials in the town. The idea came from former Kyokushin karate European champion and Szentes' born, Sándor Bresovai, when the town had the honour to organise the European championship in 2001.
