Amataka Shrine Chief Priest: Hibino Zenbei Yoshikazu 

The Reiki ceremony will include prayers for each participant led by Shinto Chief Priest, Hibino Zenbei Yoshikazu from the Amataka Shrine in Taniai, the birth village of Usui Sensei.

Profits benefit Kurama Temple and Amataka Shrine 

The Usui Torii Gate at the Amataka shrine in Taniai Village was recently restored. The Torii Gate was removed from the site, cleaned, repaired and reset with a new foundation. See the before and after photos above. In 2018 Hiroshi Doi and others dedicated the Usui Memorial in Taniai Village to commemorate and honor Usui Sensei. 

Mikao Usui, or Usui Sensei as he was called by Reiki students in Japan, was born on August 15, 1865. He was born in Taniai village in the Yamagata district of Gifu prefecture, which is located near present-day Nagoya, Japan. He received the “Great Reiki Light” in 1922 on the sacred Mt. Kurama, located North of Kyoto city, the ancient capital of Japan.  

William Lee Rand leads this 100-year Anniversary Celebration for this beautiful event with our global Reiki community live streaming from Hawaii.  Chief Priest Hibino Zenbei Yoshikazu from the Amataka Shrine along with Lena Takahashi will live stream from Taniai, Japan. Muniqui Muhammad will live stream from Kurama, Japan, and Robin and Colleen Benelli will live stream from Portland, Oregon.
