The word dojo is Japanese and means "the place of the way". It is traditionally used to describe a hall or place where martial arts are practiced. The term is made up of two parts: "Do- 道" meaning "The path/way of" and "Jo-場" meaning "a castle or simply a place".
It is defined as not having a physical body; being disembodied; or incorporeal. It references the the 1988 Japanese film The Discarnates Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. In the movie, Harada is a successful scenario writer, and his best buddy has just announced an intention to propose to Harada’s ex-wife. Recovering from the shock, Harada indulges in melancholy, mainly on his failure as a husband and father, and goes to a ‘Rakugo’ show, where a friendly man in the audience invites him home. Harada is puzzled at the strong resemblance of this man and his wife to his own parents, who were killed nearly 30 years ago when he was twelve.
