He became well known for his unique approach to Zen practice integrating insights from his martial and fine arts training with traditional Zen methods; this approach has been described as a unity of ''Zen'', ''Ken'' ("sword", referring to martial arts or physical culture), and ''Sho'' ("brush", referring to calligraphy or fine arts). Ōmori founded Seitaiji monastery in Japan and Daihonzan Chozen-ji in Honolulu, Hawaii, the first Rinzai headquarters temple established outside of Japan according to Rinzai canon law. Dharma successors and descendents of Omori Roshi are active in both Japan and the West. In the United States, along with Chozen-ji, Daiyuzenji has been established in Chicago, and Korinji near Madison, Wisconsin. In Germany and Austria, there are active groups connected to Sasaki Gensō Rōshi and Hozumi Genshō Rōshi. Ōmori is the author of more than 20 books in the Japanese language. Ōmori was also well known for his right wing ultra-nationalist〔Zen war stories, Daizen Victoria, p85〕 political activism and influence in government circles prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Omori Sogen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
