This just to inform you that the easter camp in Denmark last week was carried through as planned in spite of Senseis death. Both Arisou sensei and the other representatives from the circles around Nishio sensei was influenced by the sad incident but carried on and created a seminar in a spirit and with a great atmosphere.

Early Saturday morning a ceremony was performed where almost 100 aikidoka from many countries paid there respect and each lit a stick of incense in front of a display with a lovely flower decoration, one of senseis dogi's and several pictures of sensei the way we remember him.

We were all deeply moved by the beautiful ceremony and in senseis spirit the following practiced was performed with all the vigor and enthusiasm that we could give.

He shall be missed - but it is good to know that his aikido lives and breathes.
