mike,
You ask so many questions.
It is tough to synthesize them into a single answer, especially when one is not sure of the answers.
To make intelligent guesses into what Ohsawa's and Ishizuka's motivation's were requires that one studys the lives of these two men, something that I have been doing lately by reading books like Ronald Kotzsch's "Macrobiotics: Yesterday and Today".
One work that I would really like to get my hands on and read is Kotzsch's thesis "Georges Ohsawa and the Japanese religious tradition".
Do you have or know of anyone who has a copy of that thesis?
I'm sorry but I can't answer your questions at this time.
Thank you, very much.
