Video of Miyamoto shihan on Youtube

I found on Youtube a 4 min. video featuring Tsuruzo Miyamoto, Aikikai Hombu Dojo shihan.
The video contains Miyamoto shihan’s performance at the 44th All-Japan Aikido Demonstration held in Tokyo, in 2006 (I think).

He is one of the masters who’s Aikido I especially like.
Techniques finely chained, yet very energetical.
Uke is brought at the edge of the abyss and kept there.
A beautiful art of unbalancing...

I saw for the first time Miyamoto shihan at Aikikai Hombu Dojo, in 2002.
I found his approach very interesting, the Uke being brought at the limit of his balance, hoping to regain it, struggling for the balance, but controled permanently so that he doesn’t succeed getting up.

From The Encyclopedia of Aikido offered by Aikido Journal:

“MIYAMOTO, TSURUZO
(b. 3 March 1953). B. Fukuoka, Kyushu.
7th dan Aikikai.
Aikikai shihan.
First taught aikido by Morito SUGANUMA.
Trained at the AIKIKAI HOMBU DOJO from 1975-1979 as an apprentice instructor under the tutelage of Kisshomaru UESHIBA.
Presently instructs at the Aikikai and travels abroad conducting seminars.”

Unfortunately, I haven’t found any other information about him or videos with him.
