Building our country

At the Skyrocket center at Omotesandou, Tokyo, I newly displayed Yukata, Japanese traditional summer robes, for the charity of East Japan disaster, that I had created one by one with marbling dying method, at the inner garden of our Koma gallery Café at Yasaka, Kyoto overlooking the Yasaka tower, that delivered a pleasant gust of breeze to us. Staff members finished them as volunteers. As I installed them in a row, each looked like a beautiful and colorful cosmos. Naturally they made me smile. To my great joy I envisioned a light-scape that as you put one on it would make you manifest your true light of life that would be unified with surrounding space and became brilliantly shining to make a torch of hope for many people who would watch you. There were also many t-shirts that I had also created and dyed for charity activities. Indeed I created many marbling works. All of them looked like flowers of hope. I wished that many people would wear them. Later today after some absence I gave a video lecture in front of the Koma calligraphy displayed at the basement floor of our Skyrocket center. I realized that our path for rebuilding our country was steadily on its way. As I sat down on the floor in front of the Koma calligraphy and closed my eyes, I envisioned that the founder of Koguryo, king Tomei was smiling at me and looked enthusiastic about rebuilding Japan as he had created a new dynasty out nothingness wishing to create a new world for everybody to live a happy life. Now we were heading for rebuilding our country that would never separate people and everything had been got together to pave a way for an unknown glorious future.
