Blue wind

At my residence in Kyoto I exhibited many photos of Koguryo’s historic site photographed by Mr. Idaki Shin that made me enjoy an aroma and wind of Koguryo. I recalled that as I envisioned a blue color I made everything in blue such as originally handcrafted curtains, furniture, carpets, kitchen wares and other commodities, though the interior was actually in different tones of colors. This time as I decided to move to a new residence in Kyoto, I went to the Yasaka tower and closed my eyes to envision a light-scape and that was “blue wind”. I took a photo of the tower on the spot and what I had envisioned was marvelously photographed. With joy I put the photo in my website for weeks. In reality I realized that my activities have been always together with “blue wind”. At the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert held on the 13th and 14th August in Tokyo, I realized this wind when I narrated my poem about king Kotai. Originally I had experienced this special wind for the first time when I had visited a historic site of king Kotai, since then I called a special blue color that greatly moved my soul the color of king Kotai. Then my new residence was surrounded by my art works in this color that taught me the arrival of time to take major actions as we were encountering a new world and taking a pivotal position to transform our era into a new one. My life was enormously excited.
