The Origin of Japanese Shiatsu Massage

In Japanese, “shi” means finger, and “atsu” means press or push. Therefore, Shiatsu can be simply understood as a method using fingers to press or push on various body areas. This technique involves massaging pressure points to alleviate tension and pain, promote metabolism, and provide a sense of comfort and relaxation.
Shiatsu developed from the ancient Japanese massage technique called Anma, which originated around 1320 by master Akashi Kan Ichi. Over time, the Anma technique was refined and evolved into the modern Shiatsu method.
A well-known story about the origin of Shiatsu tells that in 1912, a seven-year-old boy named Tokujiro Namikoshi cured his mother’s rheumatism by using finger, hand, and palm massages. Later, in 1925, he attended a formal Amma training course to obtain certification. He then perfected his initial massage technique, combining it with Amma techniques to create Shiatsu.
