We hear the name of Shiatsu has been known
overseas and lately there seem to be many people who have become
interested in Shiatsu. Shiatsu Therapy was born and grown up in
Japan and now has been exported to many foreign countries. And
we wonder how they have accepted it and what they have learned
about Shiatsu. We have wished to see how foreign people learn
Zen Shiatsu in their countries and would like to know what they
think of it and to exchange opinions and information with people
who work in the therapuitic field if there is a chance. Thanks
to Internet, we could have contacts with some people who concern
with Shiatsu Therapy in America, which made us decide to visit
America. This is a report of Masami's goodwill trip to North America
in 1999. During the trip, she did workshops and demonstrations
of Zen Shiatsu in each city, which was well received by the people
with wonder and admiration, and you can check it with some pictures
and explanations belowed. We would like to continue teaching and
promoting Zen Shiatsu Therapy internationally hereafter and would
like to have more opportunities to come in touch with foreign
people directly through Zen Shiatsu in the future.
