Figure 142: YANAGIYA’S DISCIPLES IN 1955.

From left to right, top row: Takeyama, Tobe, Maruyama, Ishino; bottom row: Nishizawa, Honma, Inoue, Okabe. They all contributed editorial assitance to the periodical Ido No Nippon and of this group only Nishizawa and Tobe were still alive in 1993.

A particularly interesting individual, from the perspective of LA was Inoue Keiri, (Fig.143) (1903-1967), one of Yanagiya’s first students. He was a Buddhist monk who initially became famous for treating all his patients with a single needle in a single Point, claiming that that was the only way to know precisely what effect each Point had.(307) There are numerous similarities between Japanese MT and LA as I indicated in discussing Ohsawa’s text, which can now be seen as clearly derivative of this school. Additional points of similarity with LA are the following:

1) All human beings are individuals, born with characteristics that distinguish each one from the other. For every one hundred patients, therefore, there will be one hundred different symptoms requiring one hundred different types of treatment. (308)
