In 1976, a documentary program titled "Onkodo Clinic" was broadcast on NHK Television. This program introduced the Sōtai method, founded by Dr. Keizo Hashimoto, who at that time was conducting treatments at the Onkodo Clinic. The program highlighted the Sōtai principle, "moving in the direction that feels good leads to improvement," and also included daily scenes from the clinic, such as Dr. Hashimoto treating his own feet. This rare footage garnered significant attention at the time and has now been re-edited into a new work.

As a bonus feature, the collection includes segments based on Dr. Keizo Hashimoto's appearances on NHK Radio, combined with valuable photographs from that era and newly discovered footage of his clinical practice.

Keizo Hashimoto was born in 1897 in Fukushima Prefecture. He graduated from the Niigata Medical School in 1921. Until the autumn of 1926, he studied at the Department of Physiology at Tohoku Imperial University. After working at a private hospital in Hakodate, Hokkaido, he transitioned from Western medicine to Eastern medicine and ran a general practice in the same city for five years. He was first called up for military service in 1937. In 1941, he relocated to Sendai and opened the Onkodo Clinic, where he practiced acupuncture and manual therapy. The "SOTAI" method, which he developed as a corrective therapy for the musculoskeletal system, gained nationwide attention in the 1970s and was widely practiced across the country. His publications include "The Wonderful Therapy That Can Cure All Diseases - Sotai" (published by Nobunkyo). He passed away in January 1993.
