Ueshiba Morihei O’Sensei
1883-1969
Founder of Aikido
植芝 盛平, Ueshiba Morihei, (December 14, 1883 – April 26, 1969) was a Japanese martial artist and founder of aikido. He is often referred to as “the founder” Kaiso (開祖) or O’sensei(大先生/翁先生), “Great Teacher”.
Morihiro Saito Shihan
1928-2002
O’Sensei most faithful student. 斉藤 守弘 Saitō Morihiro, was a teacher of the Japanese martial art of aikido, with many students around the world. Saito’s practice of aikido spanned 56 years, from the age of 18, when he first met aikido founder Morihei Ueshiba, until his death in 2002.
During Saito sensei’s period as a deshi he taught classes in the Iwama dojo.
Before his death, the founder gave Morihiro Saito the responsibility of carrying on the teaching at the Iwama dojo and also the position of caretaker of the Aiki Jinja located in Iwama.
Hitohira Saito Soke
1957
Founder of Iwama Shinshin Aiki Shuren Kai
斎藤 仁弘 Saitō Hitohiro, born in Iwama is the founding headmaster of Iwama Shin-Shin Aiki Shuren-kai. At age of seven, he started to learn aikido from Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of aikido, who cared for him as a grandson. After Ueshiba sensei died in 1969, he continued his practice with his father, thus becoming an official instructor of the Iwama dojo in 1986 and later founding the Iwama Shinshin Aiki Shhurenkai.
Morihiro (Yasuhiro) Saito Nidaime
齋藤安洸 Morihiro Sensei Nidaime is the third generation in the Saito family to lead the Iwama Shinshin Aikido and to preserve the technical and cultural heritage inherited from the founder.
