Today at Koma

In the inner garden of the Koma gallery Café, under the Yasaka tower, I created many marbling works for daily life such as jackets, Koguryo costumes, bed covers for a baby, traditional Japanese wear, shawls, curtains, tea mats, inner shoes, table mats, partitions, hair bands, etc. so that I could not list all of them. I did so without feeling the chilly weather. My marbling arts manifested unique patterns in the world corresponding to sky, wind, and light that also dyed my mind. Each of them made me happy. I could notice a person who put one on from a distance as it stood out like a torch of light. In the kitchen of the Koma gallery Café, I handmade Koma sweets that my mother who had passed away used to make for me. Though she did not teach me how to make them, to my great joy my version tasted the same as hers. I raised a voice of cheers when I finished making them. As I kept on making them, naturally I modified their shape to sweets that I had tasted at the foot of Mt. Gojo, the original place of Koguryo. I raised my voice again and again out of joy. I started making many things, foods, daily commodities, wear, etc., as I wished to express the richness and beauty of human internality. I wished to create a world that would allow everyone to live a vigorous and shining life and to develop one’s potential of life to the full. Every day I was motivated to do everything I could at this end. I recalled that when I opened the Koma gallery Café, I wrote a message that I would globally diffuse a new world that would allow everybody on earth to live a truly vigorous and brilliantly shining life. Now that I was realizing what I had written at that occasion, I was very glad and became encouraged to keep on working for the sake of people all over the world. At night I appreciated the eclipse of the moon from the inner garden of Koma gallery Café and the Yasaka tower looked transparent and was extremely beautiful. My life became extremely vigorous as I realized the true history and the arrival of an era of the truth.
