“The Kototama Principle was perfected many ages ago by our human ancestors. It is the principle of human life in its totality, the principle that governs the life of the universe.” – M.M. Nakazono, Inochi (1984)
Presenting the Writings of
Mikoto Masahilo Nakazono
Hinomoto no Mikoto Masahilo Nakazono, O Sensei (1918-1994)
Author M. M. Nakazono presents the ancient life principle of Kototama Futomani, describing the essential sound vibrations which underlie all universal phenomena, and how this applies to modern human life.
Beginning with Naka-Ima, or “here-now,” O Sensei explains the 5 Dimensions of human capacity as a means to return to one’s original capacity, or substance. (1984)
A collection of his essays, My Past Way of Budo relays stories of Sensei Nakazono’s journey from student to sensei along his lifelong study, practice, and accomplishment in Aikido, as well as his insights into the Kototama Principle.
Included is a compelling essay from his son, master healer and sensei, Dr. K. K. Nakazono. (1979, rev. 1984.)
(Soon available in German.)
Renowned Master Healer, Dr. M.M. Nakazono inspired the first acupuncture practice act in the U.S. Here, he explains the Kototama Principle in relation to Asian medical therapies for practitioners and public alike.
Includes photos of self-healing exercises, dietary and many other methods for helping restore oneself to health naturally. (1992, rev. 2001)

The Source of the Old and New Testaments examines the biblical scriptures through the viewpoint of the Kototama Principle.

The Kototama Principle
Generations of masters, including Senseis Uyeshiba, Ogasawara, and Yamakoshi, and now, O 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, O Sensei 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, O Sensei offers his wisdom and guidance on cultivating the highest capacity of human life so that we may live a complete, happy life.
O Sensei explains how, by using the lens of the ancient Kototama Principle, we can return to the real source of human life, the innermost substance in order to bring about the highest order of human civilization on Earth.
