There are several other countries at application status, and there should be new members from these countries in months to come. Unfortunately, you cannot simply apply to join Kodō Butoku Renmei, you have to be asked to join by a member in good standing. After this, you need the approval of the Shibuchō (Branch Director) in your area (if there is one). If not, the Buchō for that country will make the decision. Membership is free, we ask no yearly membership payment, and we are a non profit-making organisation.
