New spring at Yasaka

 

The true spring for human life has comez
With great joy.
Everybody welcome this.
A brilliantly shining new era has come.
The era of the truth is shining.
Human souls shall be eternal.
Authentic spring for us
With an aroma of Mt. Gojo.
Path for Mt. Gojo.
Love.
Eternity.

In the new year at Yasaka, I envisioned that human souls were freely flying over the space as if they were reborn. Under the Yasaka tower at the inner garden of the Koma gallery Café, Master Idaki Shin hand made special rice cakes with traditional hammer and bowl and many people gathered, coming from various parts of Japan. I sincerely wished that the new one would be marvelous for everybody. Master Idaki Shin said that the sound of making rice cakes expressed a successful life, so that we would keep on winning to create a new human era. I felt with gratitude that a pole of light was firmly built at the center of my life.
