Going My Way (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

Autobiography. At the age of 17 a 2-minute TV clip sparked my interest in Japanese archery (kyudo). Since I could not find any "real" (Japanese) teachers in Europe, I decided, I HAVE to go to Japan. At the age of 22 I traveled with a one-way ticket for the Trans-Siberian Express to Japan to fulfill my dream and ended up staying in Japan. Here I made licenses as an acupuncturist, moxibustion therapist and shiatsu practitioner with 38 years of clinical experience. Since 1995 (29 years) I also run one of the VERY few acupuncture clinics run by Westerners.

I chose to do in spite of the opposition from my parents, teachers, friends and other people what appeared "natural" to me and followed my way. For a long time people/patients asked me, why I do not write a book about my story, but I could not see, what people find interesting about it. Probably "my way" did not conform to common sense after all.

It is not a literary masterpiece, precise travel record or an in-depth study of Japanese culture. Just a description of what I did, saw and experienced along the way. Hopefully, my story offers nonetheless a little charm and entertaining reading.

Autorenporträt

I am a native German, but I came 45 years ago at the age of 22, to Japan driven by the idea I HAVE to learn the Japanese way of archery, called kyudo. Originally I planned to stay 6 months practicing kyudo and then be on my way through South East Asia, later traveling via Australia to San Francisco and be back in Germany after one year.

However, shortly after arrival I met a certain Buddhist priest about my kyudo practice and immediately followed the priest's advice to stay longer if I really want to learn kyudo.

Later I realized, I had to make a living somehow and decided to enroll in a vocational school for acupuncture and moxibustion.

After obtaining my three licenses (acupuncture, moxibustion, shiatsu & massage) I began working=studying in a general hospital.

Today I can look back on about 38 years of clinical practice and 29 years running my own little clinic as one of VERY few western foreigners in Japan to do so.

For the most part of my clinical activity I earned our living through translation. Recently I actually translated the autobiography of aforementioned priest.

Technological progress has contributed to manual translation becoming obsolete, so maybe I will try and write one or two more books hoping for the best.
