To all over the world

I opened the Koma gallery Café at Yasaka, Kyoto as I wished to create a space symbolic of a new world that would allow every people to live a truly happy and vigorous life and to show it to the people all over the world. While many foreigners were coming to our Koma gallery I hope that our space would serve them to have new inspirations and become creative. I believe that they came to Japan as they expected to discover something in the old capital city, Kyoto that preserved a long history. So I sincerely wished and was motivated that we would contribute to people all over the world by providing a new encounter. The music played here was created by Mr. Idaki Shin and together with our specially custom-made sound system the space was filled with an atmosphere that was connected to a world far beyond the vast universe. I recalled that Mr. Idaki Shin said at a press interview in Romania that a human heart was wider than the universe. In reality I could totally recover a pure and pleasant state of mind just by listening to his music when I was overshadowed by a feeling of heaviness. I realized that human life was living in the vast universal space and our heart was connected to an infinite world. Thus the music by Mr. Idaki Shin allowed us to realize an inner source of energies to tackle any obstacles and make possible any seemingly impossible things by acknowledging this. I became filled with love, wisdom and vigor of life. I wished that people from various part of the world would come to Japan and to the Koma gallery Café and encounter his music that we were playing in our space that would awaken their soul. This was an experience of an authentic moment of creation and encounter with a new world that would be indispensable to people who were engaging in a creative job or an artistic activity. In this respect I was very glad to be able globally to promote our activities from Kyoto. I always told everybody whom I met abroad to come to our Koma gallery when they had a chance to visit Japan. While we had organized in Kyoto many Idaki Shin concerts, I knew that the atmosphere of Kyoto had been drastically changing into a clear and beautiful one. Its historical assets looked brilliantly shining now as I recalled that I used to visit Kyoto many times in my teens. At that time I created a poem that I wrote that could feel both a breath of ancient people and a vision of an unknown future. Owing to a coming Idaki Shin concert to be held in Kyoto I anticipated that Kyoto would become a special city of our pride to show people all over the world. I would tell about this to everybody here and in the rest of the world.
