Unified at heart

 

Today at the inner garden of the Koma gallery Café at Yasaka, Kyoto, I created as many as one thousand and three hundred marbling T-shirts that would be presented to children in disaster hit areas of the East Northern Japan disaster. All my fellow staff have been very busy; some changed water and others dried T-shirts, etc., while I prepared paints and did marbling. The marbling drawing took place in an instance and the timing of dying T-shirts was crucial to making a beautiful pattern. Only once with a pool I could do marbling that was unique in the world and our staff had to wash and clean a pool every time. I was impressed with the unique nature of marbling T-shirts like every person was different from others and unique in the world. I was glad that people who put on a marbling T-shirt usually said that they felt that they became truly themselves and felt a great liberty; they became lively and a smile naturally came up. I felt that if each person would remain natural and smiling like this every day then everybody would be able to live in happiness and they would help each other in peace. Especially because we have taken the Idaki counseling courses and were liberated from negative influences and destiny from the past, our life was light and unified with surrounding space and could feel as if we were freely flying over space. A marbling T-shirt could let us realize the same state of life. This was the experience of realizing our true self. In my case at the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert I put on my own marbling costume that allowed me freely to express on stage. This was a wonderful thing. By creating marbling T-shirts, we sincerely wished that children in disaster hit areas would realize the same.
