Sensei Zen Takai is the last heir of a samurai lineage spanning sixteen generations, tracing back to Hattori Hanzo. With no successors in his family, he founded The Zen Samurai Academy to pass the tradition on.
Digital Mycelium built the academy's home online: a course catalogue with enrolment and payment — Samurai Sword Flow, Samurai Meditation and Samurai Calligraphy among them — member sign-up, login and membership checkout, an events calendar, a library of video stories, a newsletter, and the community pages that connect more than 2,000 members across continents.
It is the same recipe as Alchemy Rewire: courses, membership, events and community in one place, so a teacher can run a school rather than a website.
