In Nara

I passed by the ruins of Heijo city and arrived at the Nara museum where my exhibition was taking place. Photo panels of Koguryo by Mr. Idaki Shin attracted my eyes from a distance. I rushed to the entrance and there was a beautiful space shining brilliantly by my mind-scape art works and Mr. Idaki Shin’s photos. I have joyfully finished the installations. I was grateful as there came many visitors who seemed to know about my works beforehand. Also I felt as if I knew many of them for years, so I could talk about my concert quite naturally and many of them were willing to participate in one or all of our coming concerts. My lecture event at night was also fully attended and very animated. I realized the total atmosphere in Nara has completely changed in favor of our activities. On the way back to Kyoto I rejoiced to see a dramatic flow of clouds in the dark night sky. I was filled with what I called a romanticism of history.
