| This
book was written by Kisshomaru Ueshiba, the son of
the founder of Aikido. Born into the household of
a martial arts genius, Kisshomaru naturally absorbed
many teachings from his father, Morihei, as he was growing
up. Morihei himself explained Aikido in archaic, esoteric
language, and limited his instruction to only a select few,
but in order to accomplish the mission of introducing Aikido
to the world at large, Kisshomaru simplified the philosophy
and revised the techniques so that it would be possible for
any serious student to practise Aikido. That effort
was a great success. Aikido is now practised in 86 countries.
The Aikido ideal of 'polishing one's mind and body
to foster a spirit of harmony' has struck a common chord among
the peoples of the world. It was due to the genius of the
Founder Morihei Ueshiba, and the wise administration
of the second Doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba, that today's
Aikido came into existence. This book is a compilation
of Kisshomaru's writings on Aikido, and will provide
the reader with deep insight into both its spiritual and technical
dimensions, which are illustrated with hundreds of photographs.
