So, maybe some of y'all have wondered what the name Mokuren means? A mokuren is a magnolia tree, and since we live and teach in Magnolia, MS... Today Nanna bought me a mokuren tree because I'd been despondent that I had no mokuren tree to go with the dojo. If you look closely in the photo below you can see our firstborn Mokuren Ninja hiding behind the new tree.
