The Kototama Principle
Generations of masters, including Senseis Uyeshiba, Ogasawara, and Yamakoshi, and now, Sensei M. M. Nakazono, have set before us the way to acquire a profound understanding of life through the clarifying viewpoint of the Kototama Principle, the original sound rhythm vibrations at the source of all phenomena.
Dedicating his life’s work to pursuing the way to the final truth, Sensei Nakazono painstakingly applied this understanding to refine Aikido and traditional Asian medical therapies, teaching thousands in countries across the world.
From this place of deep realization, Sensei offers his wisdom and guidance on cultivating the highest capacity of human life so that we may live a complete, happy life.
In all of his books, Sensei Nakazono explains how, by using the lens of the ancient Kototama Principle, we can return to the real source of human life not only to improve our lives, but to help bring about the highest order of human civilization on Earth, where there is peace and benefit for all.
