Hi Leslie
The copyright date is 2002. He does have a web site, but I have not seen any mention of his passing. If I can find the url I will post it on resources
Yes I may have given the english publisher, but I have seen the book on the USA Amazon site, but it was difficult to find there.
He has/was practicing for some 20 years, so the claim of being the longest practicising reiki master, might only be relavent to the western style.
The book, once you get past the history, is where the book excells. I don't very often get this enthusiastic about reiki books. But feel this could be one of the more important ones
Namaste
Rob
