内容紹介
The Heart of Aikido: The Philosophy of Takemusu Aiki takes the reader on a spiritual journey straight to the essence of Aikido, in the words of the great Founder himself. Ueshiba, affectionately known as O’Sensei, or “Great Master,” devoted himself to the promotion of peace and expression of universal human values, and spent a substantial part of his life imparting and teaching these values. Taken largely from transcripts of lectures he gave, The Heart of Aikido draws on the essence of the Founder’s philosophy and spirituality based on the Shinto religion, and his beliefs on the divinity of the true self and the universe. His teachings also emphasize the importance of harmony in Aikido, and how ultimately humans can foster a peaceful society by dispelling aggression through such harmony.
This long-awaited English version is a translation of the original Japanese classic. Among the many Aikido books that exist today, this book will stand out for its heartfelt focus on the spiritual message of the Founder, and how that message resonates with equal urgency in today’s world.

著者について
MORIHEI UESHIBA was born in Western Japan in 1883. After devoting himself to mastering classical styles of judo, kendo, and jujutsu, he created Aikido, an entirely original martial art, based on the spiritual teachings of the Omoto-kyo religion. After the Second World War, Morihei established the Aikikai Foundation in Tokyo to promote the dissemination of Aikido throughout the world. Morihei died in 1969.
MORITERU UESHIBA was born in 1951, grandson of Morihei Ueshiba and son of the late Kisshomaru Ueshiba, the second Aikido Doshu. He graduated from Meiji Gakuin University in 1976. In 1999 he became Aikido Doshu, and the permanent chairman of the International Aikido Federation.
HIDEO TAKAHASHI was born in Tokyo in 1932. He served under Masahisa Goi as chief editor and director of publications of Byakko Shinko Kai, and until his retirement he also served as the organization’s vice president. He has authored numerous works of prose and poetry on world peace.
JOHN STEVENS, Buddhist scholar and Aikido instructor, is the translator and compiler of Morihei’s The Essence of Aikido, and author of many other books on Aikido, Buddhism, and East Asian Art.

Great book on O-Sensei's philosophy

This book is an important documention of the spiritual beliefs of O-Sensei. While one reviewer has stated that it is esoteric and difficult to understand, I think this has to do with the style of Ueshiba's presentation rather than the actual translation. For those of us who want to gain some understanding of Ueshiba's philosophy but are not planning to do years of graduate studies on Japanese religious traditions, this book is a great resource.
I gave this book four stars because I personally would have preferred a more exact translation with footnotes explaining obscure references. However, John Stevens' goal has always been to make the spiritual beliefs that lay at the foundation of aikido accessible to everyone, and I believe this book does a good job of this. There has been a long debate about the importance of spirituality in aikido, and I think this explains O-Sensei's point of view on the matter.
This book does not contain any overt discussions of waza, so if you are looking for the best angle to bend your elbow to get a good shihonage or how much weight to put on your front foot v. your back foot, this is not the book for you.

This lovely book gives a good foundation understanding of the spiritual/energetic basis behind AiKido. I am not an AiKiDo practitioner. As one who is a Japanese Reiki practitioner and a Shin Buddhist I saw many ways in which this philosophy gives me a clearer understanding of the Japanese spiritual mindset. This book is inspiration one's spiritual path. I will return it often for inspiration.

O'Sensei's Heart in Aikido

After reading John Stevens' excellent translations, interpretations, and his own comments on O'Sensei's 'Heart,' I feel much more confident in my own teachings of Ki in Aikido. Nearly 40 years have passed since I began as a neophyte trying to understand Aikido as taught by O'Sensei through several outstanding masters in Ki Aikido. Throughout these years I gradually learned many parts of this difficult martial art. However, I had difficulty understanding Aikido as a whole.
Having now read, and continuously re-reading of "The Heart of Aikido,"I'm beginning to visualize and 'see' the whole of Aikido. I'm grateful and appreciative of John Stevens' efforts in attempting to share with committed students of Aikido, such as myself, his excellent translations and interpretations of O'Sense (Morehei Ueshiba Sensei). "The Heart of Aikido" is an excellent reference text for any serious student of Aikido.
