Koma gallery Café at Yasaka

Today as well I have been busy creating marbling T-shirts for children in Kamaishi city and, under a hot summer sky, I kept on working filled with joy as I imagined their smiling faces. At the end of the day I dyed as many as seven hundred and hung them to dry in the inner garden of Koma gallery Café. They waved to winds and made me smile as indeed they looked like many smiling children in lines. Each T-shirt was unique in the world as each person was and its waving shape looked like dreaming to encounter its counterpart. At night I held a monthly gathering of poems for life and after this I made my mind-scape drawings on sable cookies hand made by Mr. Idaki Shin and then renewed a sweet menu. I put a decoration on a new cake that I named Wandu castle city in summer and created a message for our customers that expressed the importance of living a unified life at heart, especially as we were facing many difficulties after the disaster. We should regain unity with nature. Having finished all the works for today I went to the Yasaka tower and I was moved by its magnificent look under the night sky that witnessed everything since ancient times. As I looked up a beautiful full moon came into my sight that seemed to have been a companion to the tower. My soul trembled at the scene. At Yasaka, souls of people who had built a dynasty were reviving. Now I was heading for more for tomorrow.
