A ‘
nafudakake‘ is a traditional Japanese rank board, where members of a martial art school (Karate, Judo, Aikido, etc.) have their names displayed on wooden slats in order of seniority and divided by rank. These rank boards were used to show how large and respected a school is, to recognize the accomplishments of its students and the renown of its instructors, and to create a sense of community and belonging among a school's members.
This plugin generates an easily-managed and attractive virtual nafudakake which can be displayed using a shortcode. It provides a simple drag-and-drop interface for creating and reordering name slats, and options for customizing the rank board's appearance to best match your site.
