While it rained, I went to Ishinomaki. Many people had gathered at our artwork exhibition. While I chose T-shirts for people and recommended our concert, time passed quickly and busily. The Ukrainian had come too. I was humbled to receive a souvenir. Using a translation device, she told me my T-shirts had a wondrous energy and felt nice. It made me happy to have someone I could meet in Ishinomaki. After the exhibition ended, we went to the venue of my lecture. The air was somber and dark, with an ineffable sense of heaviness. While the room was heavy as lead, I used a lot of energy trying to move the stagnant air. It felt like I was trying to move a colossal rock. Speaking the truth was the only thing to do, so that's what I kept doing. I prayed for the situation to change. Owing to the presence of members who move with me, I'm truly happy and grateful that I can follow through on things even in a difficult situation. Just seeing their faces gives me energy. And it makes me happy. Our activity is challenging but fulfilling more than anything else. When I meet my fellow members, I feel a close bond because we share hardships as well as joy. I'm happy and grateful for the activity we can carry out together. Finally, tomorrow is our last day. I will give my lecture in Shiogama. And I will head toward the "Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered" concert. Thank you very much.
