He was born in 1868 and died in 1957; Gichin Funakoshi is considered by most to be the father of modern karate. Each plaque is 11x17 (inches) and is laminated to protect against scratching; tearing; or water damage. They are then mounted on a 1/4 inch particle board and the edges are trimmed in black and chamfered to prevent chipping. The board also has a mounting hole on the back so nothing is needed except a simple nail to hang the plaque in either your home; office or dojo.
