		"Simple or highly developed, every form of shiatsu needs to have the stamp of the original inspiration; because the original idea of shiatsu is the spirit of the open and honest contact and the direct loving communication between two people. That’s why I always say that those who still practice Do-In Ankyo, the original form of shiatsu, generally have a pure attitude, untroubled by too much ambition and knowledge."
