The 2 offerings in the pack allow the student to learn from 2 snapshots in Shimamura Sensei’s teaching career, which are 5 years apart (2014 and 2019). This allows one to see the common core of Shimamura’s treatment methods across time, as well as observing important methods that have taken precedence in the past, as well as those that have shown increased importance in recent years.

All teachings in these offerings are by Tsuyoshi Shimamura Sensei, with Seishiro Hokazono as his dynamic interpreter and teaching assistant.

Presented by Tsuyoshi Shimamura + Seishiro Hokazono (Interpreter)- Japanese/English Recorded Seminar
Tsuyoshi Shimamura was Master Nagano’s closest apprentice during the final years of his life, living and working with him between 1997 and 2000.
During the years Mr Shimamura spent with Master Nagano, he came to understand his many ingenious clinical insights, and importantly he also came to appreciate Master Nagano’s character- the challenges he faced, and how he overcame them. During this One-day Recorded Seminar, Tsuyoshi Shimamura discussed the importance and cultivation of these personal qualities, and how they were reflected in the life and practice of Master Nagano. Mr Shimamura discussed specific stories from interactions with Master Nagano and his students that convey important messages, and also outlined Master Nagano’s most important message to future practitioners and students:
- Stomach Qi- how to assess and strengthen it to benefit all patients.
- Live-On-Stage Demonstrations, to observe Shimamura’s unique palpation and treatment methods, and the important concepts of “order of treatment.”
- Specific teachings to assist in the art of diagnosis and palpation
- An Explanation of the shared roots to how Master Acupuncturist Kiiko Matsumoto treats in comparison to Tsuyoshi Shimamura
A Q &A section was conducted during the seminar that assisted attendees with enquiries about the diagnostic approaches of live-demonstrations and Shimamura’s interpretations of Master Nagano’s intentions for specific point selections and combinations.
A post seminar Q & An interview was also conducted to learn more about Master Nagano through certain stories that Shimamura has chosen to share.
This recorded seminar was part of the Legacy of Master Nagano Seminar Series hosted in Sydney, Australia in December 2014.
This is the essential recorded seminar for those wishing to embark on the journey of learning to treat like Tsuyoshi Shimamura Sensei.

“Please remember to go back to “Stomach Qi”, when you find yourself confused and troubled. One should go back to Stomach Qi to create the beautiful acupuncture treatment, like a flowing river. This is an ideal treatment that Master Nagano taught me. “
