Haruchika Noguchi

Haruchika Noguchi (野口 晴哉, Noguchi Haruchika) was born in September 1911 and died in 1976. He was a Japanese practitioner and founder of the movement known as Seitai. His work led to the development of the concept of taiheki, which pertains to the natural harmony of the body and its functions.

Noguchi established the practice of Seitai as a method aimed at restoring health by aligning the body through specific corrective methods. His teachings have influenced various students and practitioners within Japan and internationally.

Among his students are Itsuo Tsuda, Masatomi Ikeda, Katsumi Mamine, and others who have carried forward his teachings. These individuals contributed to spreading the practice and understanding of Seitai in subsequent years.

Haruchika Noguchi authored numerous books on health, body alignment, and the principles underlying Seitai. Three of his publications are available in English translation, including "Order, Spontaneity and the Body" published by Zensei in Tokyo in 1985 (ISBN 4-915417-00-X), "Colds and their Benefits" published by Zensei in 1986 (ISBN 4-915417-01-8), and "Scolding and Praising," published by Zensei in 1991 (ISBN 4-915417-02-6). Additionally, his work is referenced in "Seitai Inteligencia Vital" by Laura López Coto, published in Spain in 2015 (ISBN 978-84-944640-0-3).

His teachings and writings have been disseminated through various organizations, including the Seitai Kyokai, Zensei-sha (his publishing company), and educational institutions such as the Itsuo Tsuda School. Further resources and translations are available online, predominantly in Japanese, including official links to Seitai organizations and related publications.
