Description

In September 1935, Admiral Isamu Takeshita toured North America demonstrating aikibudo (aikido), stopping in New Orleans, San Francisco, Washington DC, and Seattle. In Washington DC he demonstrated to US newspapermen; in Seattle his partner was Yasuyuki Kumagai (5-dan, Seattle Dojo). This was the earliest documented demonstration of Ueshiba's art in North America.
