A great study guide through Shiatsu school.....
Last year, I graduated from International School of Shiatsu in Doylestown, Pa. Prior to this school, I attended another Shiatsu school as well. Through both schools, this book was used as the main reference for me. I highly recommend this to anyone studying this wonderful art. It has all the detailed meridians, both standard and "Zen" and extensive info on the 5 elements. Buy it....you'll love it!!!

The Best Shiatsu Textbook
We use this for our Shiatsu textbook at The American Institute of Massage Therapy (...). It is easy to read and understand. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn the fundamentals of Shiatsu.
