Morihiro Saito Sensei - History in Brief part 2
Not only was Saito Sensei a diligent student, but he also helped the
founder in his daily life and took part in caring for the rice fields and
other farming tasks. The founder was clearly impressed with the dedication
shown by Saito Sensei. O-Sensei gave Saito Sensei a plot of land on his
property and this is where Saito Sensei then built his house and lived
with his wife and children side by side with the founder.
By the late 1950s, Saito Sensei had become one of the top instructors in
the Aikikai system. He taught at the Iwama dojo when the founder was out
travelling. Saito Sensei also instructed on a weekly basis at the Hombu
Dojo in the 1960s, teaching Aiki-Ken and Aiki-Jo for the last fifteen
minutes of each Sunday morning class.
