Shoji Nishio sensei was one of the most prominent aikido teachers, 8 dan Aikikai, also very skilled with the sword and the jo. He passed away in 2005. This film is from a seminar he had in my dojo Enighet, Malmö, in 1993. Notice his speed and virtuosity, and also his constant smile. He was a delightful teacher, always in a good mood, and always inspired. It was clear that he truly loved to do aikido. His sophisticated budo was not easy to learn, but we all sure enjoyed trying.
Here are photos of him on my website:

дыхание маленьких капелек на траве,
свирепость и беспощадность в глазах воинов,
маленький ребенок,несущий воду из ручья для своих старых родителей-
все под небесами
