From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mutsuro Nakazono (b. Dec 20, 1918, died 1997) (first name also spelled "Mitsuro" or "Masahiro") is a Japanese acupuncturist, an Oriental medicine practitioner and an aikido teacher with a strong judo background.
Born in in the Kagoshima prefecture, he relocated to France in 1961 where he remained until the early 1970s before moving to the to Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA where he spent several years. He operated a natural healing center in California: The Nakazono Clinic, San Diego, CA, USA.[1]
Nakazono was an authority on kotodama and wrote privately published books on the subject.[1] His study of kotodama was a result of his studies with Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the martial art of Aikido. Ueshiba is believed to have mastered kotodama to a certain degree, yet few of his disciples have been interested in learning this aspect of aikido from him with the exception of Nakazono.
