A late '60's demonstration by Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba Osensei. Kaguri Mae(ritual misogi or purification with the bo or long staff), movement against sword attack, are all shown in this film linking the founder to the Shingu/Kumano area of Japan. Uke is none other than Michio Hikitsuchi sensei, Aikido 10th dan.
