The 1928 'Nichiyoubi Mainichi' Reiki Article......

A 1928 REIKI ARTICLE BY SHOU MATSUI

Shou Matsui (1870 - 1933) had worked as a journalist before becoming well-known as a playwright and drama teacher, and supporter of the traditional form of Japanese Theatre called Kabuki. He was also one of Chujiro Hayashi's Reiki students.

Even as a playwright Mr. Matsui continued to write articles and reviews, etc, including one particular Reiki-promoting piece, published in the 'Nichiyoubi Mainichi' [Sunday Every Day] Magazine, on March 4th, 1928.

In response to a request from a reader who wrote:
"I would like to learn about the treatment introduced in the book presentation by Shou Matsui in the 'Mainichi' on January 30th."

Mr. Matsui responds:

"I am pleased to discuss this method.
This cure-all treatment is called "Reiki Ryoho" and is practiced by an elite group of people. It was created, or rather founded, by Sensei Mikao Usui who passed away a few years ago. Currently, his students have clinics where they practice healing and train others in Reiki Ryoho. Although remarkable in its effectiveness, not many people are familiar with this treatment. Sensei Mikao Usui did not like to advertise Reiki Ryoho and so his students are also hesitant in publicising it......

Hi Lunarreikin

It's no big secret - the article's existence has been known to various reiki folk for some time.
I believe Frank A. Petter has published a section of it in one of his recent books ( or as I prefer to label his works: booklets!)
There is also an english translation of the first part of the article on another reiki site.

The original Magazine article was written in 'old style' Japanese. However, for translation purposes it was a great help finding a Japanese site with the text in 'modern' (post-war)Japanese (costs a lot less to have the translation done)
