Sound of autumn

Insects were singing to announce the arrival of autumn. I asked myself if I took too easily the rotation of a new season after every summer as I realized that each year was extremely precious and unique for my life. The sound of insects impressed me that this year was indeed full of big incidents. Personally the aroma and atmosphere of summer in my childhood was revived together with my most cherished wish and I became certain of realizing it in my life. My life was indeed realizing my original dream. I felt the presence of souls of Koguryo since childhood and they led me to encounter Mr. Idaki Shin so that the deepest wish of Koguryo’s people would be achieved. Koguryo was first established in China and its last capital was situated in North Korea, leaving also some historic traces in South Korea. As a Japanese I was not allowed to visit some of my ancestor’s places. These days I started to envision things transcending the boundaries of time and terrestrial space. Sometimes I grasped all at once a path coming from ancient times that was leading towards the future. The aroma of summer that I had sensed in my childhood was revived and showed me the future of my life. I called this a great romanticism in history.
