Nakazono was an authority on [[kotodama]] and wrote privately published books on the subject.<ref name="Encyclopedia of Aikido" /> His study of kotodama was a result of his studies with [[Morihei Ueshiba]], founder of the martial art of aikido. Ueshiba is believed to have mastered [[kotodama]] to a certain degree, yet few of his disciples have been interested in learning this aspect of aikido from him with the exception of Nakazono.
 
Nakazono was also deeply involved in the spiritual aspect of healing such as [http://www.lifestudies.org/words/2005/02/four-meanings-of-life-inochi.html Inochi]. Coming from a long family tradition of healers he passed on both his Aikido and his spiritual approach to healing to his son [http://www.nakazono.aberaikido.org.uk/Jironakazono.htm Jiro Nakazono] (now known as Jei Atacama) who practices [[spiritual healing]] in [[New York City]].
 
In 2007 there was a series of memorial events in Rosfall, Switzerland and [[Neath]], UK sponsored by his students in memory of their teacher.
