Opening donations for the construction of the memorial monument to Morihiro Saito shihan
The memorial monument in Iwama is being built to honour the memory of the late Morihiro Saito shihan.
Morihiro Saito shihan earnestly studied for 23 years under the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, who granted him the right to teach weapon techniques. The founder also entrusted to be the guardian of the Aiki shrine.
Morihiro Saito shihan developed and organised the study of weapon techniques, including the 7 suburi, sword kumitachi, 31 jo kata, 13 jo kata, 20 jo suburi and kumitachi. He spread these techniques and shared them with thousands of students worldwide, devoting his life to Aikido and the future generations.
It has been 19 years since Morihiro Saito shihan passed away; since then, many Aikido artists worldwide have embraced the Aiki ken and jo techniques taught by Morihiro Saito shihan. So this time, we have humbly opened this donation site to everyone who would like to contribute to the construction of the memorial monument to honour Morihiro Saito sensei.
