The Isshinryu
tournament held at the Sunnyside Gardens in NYC in 1976 was to raise money to
have a statue of Tatsuo Shimabuku made to be placed in Okinawa.
The tournament
was held and brought Isshinryu karate-ka from around the country to compete and
support the effort to pay for that bust.
See the original
blog post I made about that tournament:

Going through my pivatee files I just found a photo of that bust of Tatsuo that was made. I have never
seen this posted before.
Unfortunately I have no further details about what happened to that bust.
