Supplementary materials for kata training - дополнительные материалы для тренировки по ката: Ji'in
Please remember: none of videos and books can replace a practice in dôjô!
Ji'in (慈蔭) - the name can be written down in two ways, thus, leading to two different translations:
寺院 - "Temple Grounds" - "Земли храма"
慈陰 - "Love [and] Shadow" - "Любовь и тень"
Funakoshi Gichin Sensei tried to rename Ji'in as Shôkyo (松陰) ("Pine Shadow" - "Тень сосны"), but the new name didn't stay.
Ji'in belongs probably to Tomari-te. Funakoshi Sensei could possibly learn this kata from Itosu Anko Sensei.
Jion, Jitte and Ji'in are very often classified into one group because they share similar techniques.
Books:
Hirokazu Kanazawa "Shotokan Karate International Kata (Vol. 1)"
Fiore Tartaglia "Shôtôkan-Kata ab dem Schwarzgurt"
Andre Bertel says in his blog: "In Tokyo 1993, after passing my JKA (Matsuno-group) yondan, Asai Sensei said to me at the after party "if Nakayama Sensei had not so prematurely died, there would have been a Best Karate 12, featuring Wankan and Jiin. Also a 'special advice section on kata', much similar to Best Karate 8"."

Sôchin (壯鎭) - "Strength [and] Calm" ("Strongly Rooted") -"Сила [и] спокойствие" ("Прочно укорениться").
Sôchin was probably created by Funakoshi Yoshitaka in the late 1930s. There are number of similarities to Sôchin of Aragaki Seisho (an Okinawan martial arts master, 1840-1918(?1920)). Thus, Aragaki Sôchin could be used as a basis.
Aragaki Seisho (an Okinawan martial arts master, 1840-1918(?1920)) taught Sôchin to Mabuni Kenwa (1889-1952, the founder of Shitô ryû). As in case with Nijû Shi Ho (Niseishi), Sôchin could be learned by Funakoshi Yoshitaka and Nakayama Masatoshi from Mabuni Kenwa.
Funakoshi Gichin Sensei tried to rename Sôchin as Hakko ("Eight Storms" ("Восемь бурь")), but the new name didn't stay.

Supplementary materials for kata training - дополнительные материалы для тренировки по ката: Chinte
Please remember: none of videos and books can replace a practice in dôjô!
Chinte (珍手) - "Rare (extraordinary) Hand" ("Редкая (выдающаяся) рука"). Sometimes translated also as "Strange Hand" ("Странная рука") or "Unusual Hand" ("Необычная рука").
Chinte is believed to be a Shuri Te kata. Funakoshi Gichin Sensei tried to rename this kata as Shôin, but the new name didn't stay.
Chinte features unusual hand techniques (which explain the name of the kata) and only one kick.
And, yes! Three hops at the end! I have seen three explanations:
1) three hops are the traces of some lost techniques;
2) the application is holding an opponent's arm and moving back to break his wrist (I will show this application during the training);
3) these three hops were added in order to return to a starting point (this one sounds strange to me).

Chinte (珍手) - "Rare (extraordinary) Hand" ("Редкая (выдающаяся) рука"). Sometimes translated also as "Strange Hand" ("Странная рука") or "Unusual Hand" ("Необычная рука").
Chinte is believed to be a Shuri Te kata. Funakoshi Gichin Sensei tried to rename this kata as Shôin, but the new name didn't stay.
Chinte features unusual hand techniques (which explain the name of the kata) and only one kick.
And, yes! Three hops at the end! I have seen three explanations:
1) three hops are the traces of some lost techniques;
2) the application is holding an opponent's arm and moving back to break his wrist (I will show this application during the training);
3) these three hops were added in order to return to a starting point (this one sounds strange to me).
