25th Nov. 2022 / in Kyoto

November 25th is the anniversary of my brother's passing and I was very surprised to receive so many bouquets of flowers that I never thought I would receive. A feeling of gratitude overflows from the bottom of my heart for everyone's kindness. Thinking how surprised my brother would be if he knew, it was as if I could see the look of joy on his face. Fellows that live the Idaki way are closer than relatives and I have nothing but gratitude that we can all work together and support each other in our lives. Today, in the courtyard of the tearoom in Mt. Hiei, we did my marbling dyeing. The sun was warm and gentle like spring, and the wind that blew was also calm and refreshing. I felt happy to be able to do my marbling dyeing on a beautiful day being one with the wind, light and water of Mt. Hiei. I hope that this happiness will last forever. I always feel happy when I am doing my marbling dyeing and I wish that we could vigorously do marbling dyeing together forever. Various colors and patterns are transparent and beautiful. And when I came down the mountain, the streets of Kyoto were jam-packed with people and cars. Going out from the back door of the Koma Gallery Cafe, I gave my greetings to the Yasaka Pagoda. I feel happy to be located at a place like the courtyard of the Yasaka Pagoda. For the first time in a long time, I had matcha tea at a single wooden table while looking at pictures of the land of Koguryo. It is very delicious matcha. It refreshes one's heart. Although it is a space that I created, I felt anew that it was a good café, and I felt happy to be able to feel that the space I created, which I hoped that when people from all over the world came, they would feel hope and comfort they needed to live, would surely be of use in the future. I headed to the Kyoto office in the traffic and did my lecture event. Kyoto has also become a familiar city where we have a base for our activities. I hope that many people will come to the concert in Kyoto. Thank you very much.
