Update to Dan Certificate Rank Callouts

daiji

 

Beginning this year, Nidai Soke will be using alternatives to the typical numeric kanji to denote  menjo (certificate) rank as follows:

1  壱
2  弐
3  参
4  肆
5  伍

These older, formal kanji are called daiji (大字) and are often used in official documents to help deter falsification.
