Rich land
The driveway from Morioka to Hirosaki was full of beautiful mountains and trees under clear sky that nursed and healed my body and soul. As I washed my face with water in the Tohoku area, to my joy the condition of my skin demonstrated the difference and its beautiful effect. Nature in Tohoku always told me to keep my body and heart pure and beautiful. On arriving at Hirosaki I encountered Iwaki mountain that looked completely renewed and different from ones I had seen before. Its top was covered with soft white snow and I felt an aroma of spring snow. I was greatly moved also by the beautiful sunset scene. I felt that this was a vision of a great romanticism of history. Owing to the power of nature I regained my vigor and felt as if I were newly born. I would like greatly to thank it. Later, I gave my lecture event at Hirosaki entitled “ Life and story of Keiko Koma, a path for the Idaki entrepreneur” that introduced the Idaki counseling courses. While Mr. Idaki Shin was born in Aomori prefecture, nature here was very different and powerful. I realized that the Idaki counseling courses were an integral part of the dynamism of nature and showed us how human beings could live a truly human life. So this was not something to explain objectively to people. While we were living in a new era that demanded humankind to become unified with life in nature, I realized with my own life that great nature was encouraging me as I gave the lecture on the Idaki counseling courses. Also I came to acknowledge that we would be able to give a great hope to people all over the world by creating a marvelous town at a land rich in nature. Each person could become what I called an Idaki entrepreneur and create a glorious future for humankind. A marvelous future for humankind was in our hands. This was the reason why I had started the Idaki counseling courses twenty nine years ago. Now was the time to realize this.
