A Long Road (Volume I): An Acupuncture Travelogue
Edward Obaidey graduated from the Tokyo Therapeutic Institute in 1990, and has a busy practice in Tokyo. He is the founder of the Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion Skills Foundation, an organisation dedicated to the practice and preservation of traditional Oriental Medicine, and has given seminars in England, Australia, Canada, Japan and America. He is privileged to have studied in apprenticeship under Misao Takenouchi sensei and with his current teacher, Masakazu Ikeda sensei for whom he has assisted in the presentation of many seminars abroad. In keeping with his traditional training, Mr. Obaidey’s clinic is a centre both of healing, and of the continuous learning and development of his students, visitors and himself. Edward Obaidey translated “The Practice of Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion: Classic Principles in Action” (Eastland Press; ISBN: 0-939616-43-2) by Masakazu Ikeda sensei. This text is highly recommended as an in-depth introduction to classical acupuncture in Japan. The only other of Ikeda sensei’s many books currently available in English (also recommended) is “Integration of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine: Theory and Practice” (ISBN: 978-0-578-06534-2).
