2nd Day of the 15th International Shiatsu Conference
Free Shiatsu Seminar was held at the University of British Columbia, with over 100 Shiatsu practitioners and massage therapists from all over the world, and more than 150 local participants. 
At the beginning of the seminar, Hiroshi Kanda sensei instructed "Shiatsu Foundation" which included the history of Shiatsu, elemental differences between massage and Shiatsu, and the advantages of Shiatsu. Later, a question and answer session with Kanda sensei was held. Questions from the public were very simplicistic, for the professional Shiatsu practitioners present, they reaffirmed the principles of Shiatsu.

 Hiroshi Kanda, Shiatsumaster
After graduating from the Japan Shiatsu College, he enrolled in the Tokyo Therapeutic Institute and graduated from it in March, 2003. Since then, he has been teaching Namikoshi Shiatsu theory, Shiatsu practice and anma massage Shiatsu practice at the Japan Shiatsu College. 
~~ 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 ~~
