Käytetty yksittäiskappale, pieniä kansivaurioita. KODANSHA INTERNATIONAL ISBN 1-56836-351-6.

A celebrated Master Ohashi teaches his revolutionary approach to bodywork.

Here is the first comprehensive guide to the unique methods that have made the Ohashi Institute famous around the world. Ohashi has moved beyond traditional shiatsu to develop an approach to acupressure that is holistic rather than symptomatic, energizing rather than exhausting, spiritual rather than purely physical. Above all, his techniques are designed to foster a mutual exchange of energy through bodywork that enriches both the giver and the receiver. Open this book and discover for yourself the rejuvenating powers of Ohashiatsu.

Wataru Ohashi syntyi vuonna 1944 lähellä Hiroshimaa Japanissa. Hän oli sairaalloinen lapsi, mutta muinaiset japanilaiset parannustekniikat tekivät hänet terveeksi. Aikuisena hän omistautui näiden metodien opettamiselle ja perusti Ohashi-instituutin saavuttuaan 1970-luvun alussa Yhdysvaltoihin.

Tänä päivänä Ohashi on kysytty luennoitsija ja kouluttaja ympäri maailmaa, ja hänen kehittämänsä Ohashiatsu-tekniikka on käytössä Yhdysvaltojen lisäksi monissa Euroopan maissa. Ohashi on kirjoittanut kuusi kirjaa, joista esimerkiksi Reading The Body on klassikko ja käännetty monille kielille, mm. suomeksi: Kehon kieli.
