she states a direct connection Daoism and Ômoto kyo because of Ushitora no Konjin being of daoist origin.
(I can't give the page from here. It's in at the beginning of the chapter about the daoist influences on aikidô.)
I can't value this.
But the parts of this work, which I can judge seem to be build on profound research.
Interesting - did she work from English sources?
Best,
