I'm sure it's a bit controversial, but that in itself indicates that there's far more complexity than the usual, 'like acupuncture, only using fingers' definition so many of us have come to give. This book, like Masunaga's "Zen Shiatsu", and Simon Fell's "As Snowflakes Fall: Shiatsu as a Spiritual Practice", reached deeper into the heart and soul of this amazing hands-on modality, confirmed so many of my intuitions of the subtleties of the practice, answered many que. glad to have this book mona lanjri i was waiting for this book for several months and so glad to read itif you love to work in 'silence' if you believe in 'connection', 'breathing' and you love simple and 'pure' touch, then buy this book, reading this book is, as well as the teachings of Kishi 'coming home'you can also read the most interesting history of Shiatsu in it
