~~ People might think Shiatsu can be learned easily at first, but the
longer you practise and experience Shiatsu, the more difficult and
interesting you will find it. I would like anyone, including those who
have never experienced Shiatsu as well as those who already practise
it, to participate in the 15th International Shiatsu Conference and
enjoy the workshops and seminars during the 2 days. I am looking
forward to seeing you in Vancouver. Best regard, Hiroshi Kanda ~~

~~ I have a vivid recollection of what Tokujiro Namikoshi sensei said
in the conference 32 years ago about "The essence of Shiatsu", that is,
"Shiatsu is a therapy that can bond people spiritually". The first step
to master the true Shiatsu is to master the basic Shiatsu. At the
conference, I will teach the basic technique of "prone position" as
easy as possible with the demonstration. I am looking forward to
meeting with all of you and bonding spiritually!! Best regards,
Akitomo
