Descending from Mount Hiei, where snow was dancing in the air, I made my way down to Kyoto and toward the land of Yasaka. With the feeling of visiting the souls of my ancestors, I climbed Yumemi-zaka slope, heading for Yasaka Pagoda. Standing before the pagoda, I sensed souls of Koguryo soaring into the heavens, dancing freely in an unbound wind. Although I knew that the souls were unrestricted, the sight struck me sharply, and in that instant, I reflected on the condition of living in this world. I have lived with constant awareness that life in this world means carrying many entanglements and continually being mindful of others. After meeting Master Idaki Shin and experiencing liberation from fate, I came to live together with those with whom I can truly share life, expressing my innermost wishes, connecting with one another, and this became a deep joy. No matter what difficulties arise, when I experience Master Idaki Shin’s lectures and concerts, I can soar high at once. What lies before me ceases to be a problem, and as if a frame has fallen away, I recover an unrestricted body and mind, from which new vitality for living is born. The strength to overcome anything is already within me. At Yasaka Pagoda, I encountered again after a long time the very image of how I wish to live. It was the radiance of souls of Koguryo, dancing in the free wind. I saw that by expressing a soul one meets another soul and the path of the soul is formed. And this is the path I will walk on from here on. When I gaze at Yasaka Pagoda from the second floor of the Koma Gallery Café, a stillness that seems to connect to ancient times deepens, and I find myself dwelling in a world beyond time. It is a moment I always cherish. Today as well, encountering this deep stillness again after a long while, I felt connected to the quiet and profound atmosphere of Huanren, where Wunu Mountain, the birthplace of Koguryo, stands. The source is Wunu Mountain Fortress. It is a land of infinite depth and stillness, connected to the far beyond. Even while here, I feel joy in knowing that I am connected to Wunu Mountain. I experienced with my life that to live by expressing the soul is the way of living from now on, and gazing at the moon shining above Yasaka Pagoda, I descended Yumemi-zaka and left Kyoto behind. That I am always taught and guided along the path toward the realization of world peace, which I have wished for since childhood, and that I can walk this path, fills me with joy and gratitude. I am grateful for a life in which I can do what I most wish to do. Thank you very much.
Hello.
I am back in Tokyo. It feels as though I have returned after a very long time—longer than just four days. Today, Mount Fuji revealed itself with exceptional clarity, in a beautiful form. The wind tells us that a new world has opened, and the voices of birds always speak to us, saying, let us live together. So that life may live, so that it may live with brilliance and richness, living as one with the life of nature—and in particular, being one with Great Being—I have been feeling deeply, more and more in recent times, that this creates the path for humanity to survive. I have begun to live each day in which the old way of living is over, and in which I am learning how to live anew. The concerts and lectures of Master Idaki Shin become the experience through which this new way of living settles most deeply. His concerts will take place in Tokyo on February 10 and 12, and with the wish to move toward them together with all of you, I welcome today. Thank you very much.

Improvisation Poem
31st Jan. 2026 / in Tokyo
Space brimming with guidance
Opening hearts,
Receiving guidance,
Expressing myself,
Moving forward.
A wind blows,
Gentle and pleasant,
Carrying me forward, ever forward.
I can see a world filled with light—
The hope of living.

Cold wind
Song of birds
Touch each other and become as one
Create a new path of light
Birdsong drifts from somewhere
Even in the cold wind
It brings spring into my heart
Let us live on
Go toward the future and the future
Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered Concert – October 23rd, 2017 Kyoto
An infinitely transparent and beautiful world,
A single shining blue star,
An eternal soul.
The 19th king of Koguryo, Gwanggaeto the Great,
Was born under a light of Heaven,
In a world of war.
He continued to fight, and continued fighting.
He became a young king,
Leading the vanguard ahead.
He was challenged to risk his life in the middle of enemies.
The enemies, admiring the beauty of the young king,
Left without fighting.
He met desirable people to live together with,
Who became people of Koguryo, so we hear.
A wind was blowing in the land of the Gwanggaeto the Great, an infinity, an eternity, a clear mind.
He lived and kept his purest soul.
He entered into the enemy with an intention not to sacrifice anyone else's life.
He continued to fight.
There was a limit in this world, and
There was a limit in Heaven, he realized.
Soon or later far beyond Heaven,
An infinite world would be opened. Believing so,
He lived and fought together with Heaven.
Why could a human not live without a fight?
Why could a human kill a precious life?
He questioned the infinite world.
Soon or later, far beyond Heaven,
A time in which a light of the origin would appear,
A time in which many souls would accomplish their wish,
While knowing that there was a limit in Heaven,
A sorrow through his life with Heaven,
was engraved on the ground.
A time in which the land of sorrow would turn into light.
He continued to wish even after death, continued working,
He continued to make a time which would open far beyond Heaven
An appearance of a light of the origin,
An infinite world, opened far beyond Heaven.
All souls would wake up, revive, and gather.
The Beginning of a new era of new human beings.
Special message
Love transcending space-time
Brilliantly and beautifully shining internality manifests the authentic state of our life full of love.
In my teens, I suffered from many diseases almost in every part of my body and experienced life and death crises several times. In such a critical moment I shed tears with slight hope. And after a dozen of years of investigations, I realized the source of hope I had embraced as an eternal bearing for opening up a future. By properly acknowledging the internal conditions of my body, I discovered that communion with another person’s life happened within my body and not only mine but another person’s physical or mental pains and a state of illness can be nursed gradually or rapidly owing to the nature of human life that could meet others in a much broader and unknown dimensional space. I did not need to operate consciously nor wish to make this process happen: towards unity with nature, everything happened just naturally and repeatedly. Now my piano improvisations express this marvelous encounter with people at a very deep level of human life so that each of you may realize an authentic state of love and realize that your life is indeed shining on to eternity in this vast universal space.
