Chozen-ji officials declined to be interviewed last month, citing botha Story by Derek Ferrar busy holiday schedule and a general unwillingness to violate the privacy of their spiritual retreat.But Taiken Yokoyama, who holds the title of bishop, did say that the dojo "is basi cally a place where people come for spiritual training; this is not a place where people come to get some kind of political power or influence." Some visitors to Chozen-ji, how enan ever, see it differently. State Rep. Jim Shon, who visited the dojo sev eral times in the late '80s, says, "It was no secret that [the roshi] sought out relationships with some politi cians . ... There was the sense that they wanted to build a political net o n uence work,but they were rather selective in who they'd embrace. There was a sortof hidden agenda: 'If you don't proveyourself, we won't let you in.'" Many of the people interviewed forthis story, especially those who have had close associationswith the dojo, see Tanouye's effortsin a whol ly beneficial light. "Roshi to me is not an astute politicianwith a lot of political background," says labor attorneyand longtimepolitical insid er Alvin Shim, the man who intro duced many of the public figures mentioned in this story to Tanouye. "But when it comes to human behav ior and how you reconcile differ ences, he doesone hell of a job." But, says Shim, "He hates publicity. If you gonna help, help. No talk about your help." A number of sources have also expressed concernover what attor ney and Hawaiian sovereigntyactivist Hayden Burgess, who has worked with Tanouye on Hawaiian issues in Waianae, worries might be a jour nalistic"suggestion of a sinister plot" involving the dojo. "An attempt to build a conspiracy theory of some back-dooragreement is, I think,miss ing the whole point," Burgess says.
