In 1969, I became interested in acupuncture treatment and attended Toyo Acupuncture Academy. After that, I went to China and became an apprentice to Dr. Wu Wei-Ping* and Dr. Ryu Chen-Rin.* In 1974, I returned to Japan and started demonstrating Chinese acupuncture treatments at the Pacific Hotel in Shinagawa for 6 months. Then I established the Chinese Acupuncture Hospital in Shibuya. It was Japan’s first Chinese style acupuncture office. I have given approximately 230,000 treatments in 30 years. I combined the best elements of Japanese and Chinese acupuncture methods and developed my own method, while not depending on any prescription medication.
