Interview with Kisshomaru Ueshiba: The Early Days of Aikido

It seems that he went to Tokyo depending on the support of the Inoues. I’m referring to a relative of Mr. Noriaki Inoue in Tanabe. Shortly after coming to Tokyo my father suffered from beriberi. So he didn’t have a very good experience when he came to Tokyo as a young man. Since he liked martial arts, it seems he trained in a dojo although for a very short time.
