Re: Morihei Ueshiba's Use of the Term "Aiki"

I think that you might be right on the second one, and it certainly changes the meaning.
For the first one, my hunch is that he's talking about a street performer - but a low-level one. A "cheap trickster" maybe.
I know that Tomiki studied things like Omoto-kyo in order to understand Ueshiba, but my impression from works like "Budo-ron" is that he tended to be more of a rationalist, a modern educator, like Kano.
FWIW...
Best,

Hello Chris (Li),
Thank you. This is my own view also. One of the problems here is that with 大道の安芸人, Tomiki might well have been using a phrase not now in common use. None of the 安芸人 in the dojo understood the phrase.
Best wishes,
PAG
