Mitsugi Saotome, Shihan (“Sensei”) is a furiously creative artist and some of that energy, along with his students was poured into natural furnishings that encouraged people to share space together with nature. His teacher, Morihei Ueshiba (“O-Sensei”), frequently drew individuals together to form a sense of community and friendship that is necessary for not only growing humanity, but also to fall back on during tough or challenging times.
