		In a small town in Ibaraki Prefecture there is a shrine called Aiki Jinja.
		He informed us that he had long looked up to the enshrined kami of our shrine, Sarutahiko Okami as the teacher and the guardian kami of Aikido.
		Although other kami were enshrined at Aiki Jinja, he still resolved that Sarutahiko Okami would be installed as the central divinity of Aikido and therefore I made the journey to Iwama with a bunke goshintai, a branch of the sacred worship object to represent the spirit of Sarutahiko Okami.
