From France to Japan: A New Journey for Kobido®
In France and several other Western countries, Kobido® has gradually earned a distinctive place in the world of beauty and facial massage.
Its captivating movements, combining precision, rhythm and fluidity, appeal to both professionals and facial massage enthusiasts.
Kobido® is also surrounded by a fascinating legend.
According to the story, two masters of Anma massage once competed at the foot of Mount Fuji to demonstrate their skills. Their encounter is said to have given rise to a highly sophisticated art of facial massage. The legend also tells of a Japanese empress who was captivated by the benefits of this art.
However, this story belongs to legend, not established historical fact. While Japanese massage traditions, including Anma, have a documented history, independent historical sources have not confirmed the specific origins attributed to Kobido® in these accounts.
This distinction takes nothing away from the fascination surrounding Kobido®. It simply invites us to appreciate legends without confusing them with history.
Beyond these stories, what truly inspires me is the art of touch and the passion for passing it on.
In France, I founded École du Kobido® and devoted years to developing a teaching approach based on technical mastery, precision of touch and an unwavering commitment to excellence in teaching.
What inspires me most is the moment when a student begins to truly understand a movement: its rhythm, its intention and its precision.
For me, teaching is not simply about reproducing movements. It is about passing on skills that I have studied, refined and developed with passion, while guiding each student towards genuine mastery.
Today, I wish to introduce this teaching approach, developed in France, to Japan, with deep respect for the Japanese traditions and craftsmanship that inspire it.
This new journey for Kobido® represents a meeting between two cultures, two sensibilities and one shared commitment: the beauty of movement and the art of passing it on.
Beauté Ancestrale.
Two French words expressing this meeting between Japan and France. An invitation to celebrate the beauty of movement, the richness of traditions and the dedication required to pass them on.
