Book of poetry

As I went down to the basement floor of the Keiko Koma Skyrocket center at Omotesandou and sat on the knee in front of the Koma calligraphy I received a message that we should move on around our pivotal bases. And today guarded by the calligraphy I celebrated the completion of my new poetry book and narrated poems. While I loved creating poems I was very glad as many people gathered there and appreciated my poems as a companion of their life. Its cover was made out of traditional Japanese paper with my marbling art works that I had created in Kyoto and Morioka. So just by picking one up its beauty attracted my heart. To do something I loved without thinking about meaning or responsibility was the most joyful thing. Moreover as many people loved my poetry I realized that my life was truly wonderful. To my great gratitude many people were always waiting for my new poems. Today’s gathering was surrounded by an aroma of spring. Thank you indeed for a wonderful time in my life.
