| | Glimmerscape: Stories from Iwama |
 | | The Iwama Dojo, in Ibaraki Province north of Tokyo was O-Sensei's dojo, where he lived and taught for many years after the war, and where he accepted Morihiro Saito as a student in 1946. |
 | | Though I've never been to Iwama to train, I always listen when my teachers, who spent many years there during the 1970s, tell stories about Saito Sensei, the senior students like Shigemi Inagaki, and their own experiences of being Uchi Deshi in Iwama. |
 | | As the story goes, he had arrived at the Iwama dojo in 1972 after several months at Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, and he dressed and came out on the mat to take a class. |
