Some Great Practitioners of Meridian Therapy It has been my great fortune to have met and studied with some outstanding clinicians. Here are photographs of a few of them. The first four practitioners are on the board of directors of the Toyo Hari Association; the first three are blind. The fourth, Nakada sensei, has visited the U.S. several times to teach. The fifth pictured here is Denmei Shudo, who is widely known for his excellent book on Meridian Therapy which has been translated into English by Stephen Brown. He is affiliated with the Keiraku Chiryo Association and heads his own study group, Gensai Jyuku. Next is Kazuto Miyawaki, president of the Osaka branch of the Toyo Hari association. He is known as a leading authority on treatment of the Extraordinary Vessels, with his own unique style. The next and most recent photo is of Masakazu Ikeda, who taught his first class in the U.S. this past February. The last photo is one of myself (a not-yet-great practitioner) with Akira Fukushima (a great practitioner), the son of the late Kodo Fukushima (perhaps the greatest), who founded the Toyo Hari Association.
