It was a treat to read Bob Sigall’s Jan. 17 column about Nikko Restoration Massage (“Okazaki masseurs treated celebrities and 2 presidents,” Star-Advertiser, Rearview Mirror).

In the 80s I was a legal secretary for real estate lawyer Francis Oda and started suffering from anxiety attacks. Mr. Oda kindly suggested I get massages from his masseur, Hachiro Okazaki. Doing so changed my life, for which I will always be grateful.

Hachi and his wife, Ruth, were great practitioners of the art of massage.
