actually I was wondering the same thing as Confound...
Why don't you do your grading in your home country? I suppose apart from 6th Dan or above you can take exams locally.
Are the people afraid of tougher requirements outside Japan? Simply because there are, say 1000 kendoka taking 5th Dan at the same time in Japan. While in Europe... probably 1 or 2 at a time... ^_^"
