Iwama city ( 岩間 ) Japan -The home-town of Aikido-

As far I as understand Iwama is where Ueshiba sensei (the founder of Aikido) put down roots and where Aikido more or less evolved.
Countless people in both the east and west study Aikido as result of this man's hard work and insight into the spiritual and martial. This, you see lots of signs of everywhere in Iwama.
I went there to shoot these clips for a really great friend of mine who studies Aikido. (I don't study the art myself) The trip was a bit of an insight into how much one man can effect the rest of the world in a positive way once he really puts his heart in it...
So, in short, this is dedicated to my friend Stefan and to those who truly love the Study of all aspects of budo.

Note: Please pardon the lack of any actual Aikido in this video. I hope you'll enjoy the sights of this tiny quaint town just the same.
As there is loads of Aikido, shot by actual Aikido-ka, on youtube, I thought it best to leave the Aikido to them, since they actually know what they're shooting.
Music by 'Kokin Gumi'.
Enjoy.

P.S Please let us know if you liked the clips.
