Education with People with Visual
Impairment in Asia
In order to improve the outcomes of education for visually impaired people to promote
independence in society, it is necessary for people in education to have expertise in their
field. Nowadays, not only in Japan but also in other countries in the Asia Pacific region,
it is becoming difficult to transfer educational contents, methods, techniques, and
knowledge created through the experiences of our predecessors to future generations.
The passing on of expertise and educational methods that work closely with visually
impaired people is essential to continue promoting the independence of visually
impaired people in Asia.
With the advancements of science and technology and changes in society, there is also
greater demand for innovations aiming for creating new environments conducive to
education for visually impaired people such as by compensating for visual impairment
through proficient expertise, taking advantage of IT to secure the archiving of
information, and developing sophisticated methods of teaching and educational
materials. It is also very important for educational experts in the field of visual
impairment in Asia to understand the various political and cultural differences that
inform educational assets that have been passed on and developed in each country so
that we may share the assets appropriately.
I believe that this newly published textbook, which provides extensive descriptions of
techniques in acupressure that have been passed through generations in Japan, will play
an important role for Asian people wishing to acquire techniques in acupressure. I am
extremely pleased to see this textbook published, and I hope for the development of
solutions for issues faced in the independence of visually impaired people in Asia and
for the success of AMIN activities.

Introduction
The 8th WBUAP Massage Seminar was held in Tsukuba in September 2006 for the
purpose of collecting information regarding current conditions of acupressure in Asia
and for academic exchange. The seminar focused on improving the quality of
massagers and their job opportunities in a timely fashion. The Massage Seminar has as
its fundamental idea the promotion of the independent living of visually impaired
people in the Asia Pacific region, and our activities have steadily achieved positive
results.
In conjunction with the 8
th
Massage Seminar, the Asia Medical Massage Instructors
Network (AMIN) has been established with the support of the Nippon Foundation,
with an information desk located in the Tsukuba University of Technology. The
purpose of its establishment is to improve the conditions for visually impaired people
in the Asia region to gain employment in the area of medical massage in each country
and to create a network for instructors proactively supporting the activities of visually
impaired people. In the meeting, it became clear that a textbook regarding medical
massage that can be used to train instructors at seminars was necessary. This textbook
will provide source material for seminars held by AMIN and also plays a role as
educational material for self-education. This textbook was written by authorities in
each field and consists of five chapters. The textbook is easy to understand, with the
basics of medical acupressure, summaries of the structures and functions of the human
body, basics of oriental medicine, operative methods of acupressure for entire body,
and major symptoms and practices of acupressure explained in a very straightforward
manner. As one of the project planners, I hope this textbook will be widely used for the
Asian Medical Massage Instructors Network.
