Takemusu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Takemusu (武産?) was the concept developed by Morihei Ueshiba of how the ultimate martial art should be, how his aikido should be, an art which may harmonize all living beings and free techniques could be spontaneously executed. [1] [2]

In his latest years, Ueshiba developed the more spiritual aspects of his art and even adopted the name Takemusu Tsunamori under which left many paintings and poems. [3]
