Towards "Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered" Concert

Today’s message

31st Aug. 2026 / in Tokyo

At Komaya Tokyo, we held the “Keiko Koma Coffee Ceremony,” “Today’s Story,” and “Gathering to Express in Poetry the Deepest Wishes That Arise as We Move Toward Full Houses for Concerts.” For the coffee ceremony, I made yomogi daifuku, and for the poetry gathering, I made Komaya’s special coffee jelly parfait. It was a joyful moment to use five different colors to draw freely from the heart. I am very happy that everyone enjoyed them.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of September. When a new month begins, I naturally feel that I am making a fresh start. September in particular is the month in which I move toward the Koguryo festival, “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered,” on October 1st. I am filled with the desire to give it my all and arrive at that day having done everything I can. Each day, I feel deeply that I can no longer live as I have until now. I want to spend my days learning to live in accordance with the workings of life, always allowing life to be lived fully. Master Idaki Shin taught us that “the workings of life are that human beings are always living with the extraordinary strength that emerges in an emergency.” It is not that strength appears only when something happens. When we live, moment by moment, with that extraordinary strength, life itself is alive. I physically know this as when such strength comes forth, life is fully activated. I deeply feel that to waste this life is to fail to honor the many workings and beings that have enabled me to live in this way. I think every day about how to live so that life may be lived and about how I am to die, but above all, my deepest wish is to live authentically as a human being. And my wish is to live each day toward realizing world peace, something I have wished for since childhood. I will begin with “A Day of Encounter” on September 1st. Thank you very much.

Hello.
Today, we held “A Day of Encounters” at Hoshi no Hall in Mitaka. September begins today. The first day of each month is always important for me, and I try to make a good start and have a good month ahead. With the October 1 “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” ahead, I could tell from everything happening around us that the lead-up had begun today. My life sensed that today was truly crucial. Because I have always wanted all of you to be present at key occasions, being able to gather here with you today was my greatest joy. Thank you very much. Today, I put into words the images that emerged through the music expressing Jumong, performed by Master Idaki Shin. It was a valuable experience for me and gave me a clear sense of the time when Koguryo was founded. We also screened “Reika” and the Moscow performance of the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” concert. After Koguryo fell, some of its people went into exile in Japan and others in Russia, becoming separated from one another. I was deeply moved by the concert in Moscow, held in one of the lands to which these separated compatriots had gone. Today, I reaffirmed that, this time, each and every one of us will build a nation that will never perish, a nation where life will endure forever, rather than a world of separation, sorrow, and destruction. Thank you very much.

Improvisation Poem

2nd Sep. 2026 / in Tokyo

The wind of heaven blows,
The wind of heaven heads toward the far distance
A presence that accepts and bears together
Countless impurities and burdens of lives
As one, heading toward the beyond
Burdens are lifted
Connect with the light afar
The garments of the past are taken off all at once
Beautiful soaring souls fly to the beyond

"Kaze-no-Tayori"  

3rd June. 2026

A strong, powerful wind
shows us the way—
to move at once,
toward a new world,
toward an unknown world.
Rising up
into the far beyond.

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.

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.
