At a riverside

I extremely rejoiced at the riverscape, trees and water stream seen from my new residence in Morioka as I have so long wished to live at a riverside. Previously I had looked for one in Kyoto in vain. So my dream came true in Morioka. In a traditional Japanese room, I installed an arch-framed calligraphy of my poem that read: ‘a brilliantly shining water surface of a big river was the sign of transforming sadness into love’. I created a marbling drawing based on the color I had envisioned with a big river traversing the mainland. A small stream of water among trees made me greatly moved and excited for some reason. The answer would be clarified in some future. While the last capital city of ancient Koguryo was located in North Korea, I felt that Morioka was connected to it beyond the sea as they were at the same latitude. Our expression of the truth in Morioka would directly influence overseas to change the entire world. I came to realized this deep meaning, while initially I was motivated to contribute to recovery after the disaster and decided to open our new office in Morioka. Unified with Great Being, from here I would realize my dream since childhood, that was to create a truly peaceful world in East Asia and then the rest of the world. I was grateful to my life. I recalled that when I had visited a historic tomb of Koguryo’s king, immediately I acknowledged the soul of ancient Koguryo’s people who remained truthful to the truth and had dedicated their lives to opening up a new world for coming generations to live on in happiness. The truth should live on endlessly in future. I was pleased with the encounter with Morioka as it was eventually connected to my homeland across the sea.
