Blue

 

At night I looked up the Yasaka tower from the second floor of the Koma gallery Café at Yasaka and my soul trembled as it looked unified with the dark blue sky. I felt this was a historic light-scape of an ancient time. I said to myself many times what was the meaning of this blue color wondering if it came from an ancient time or was something special in this place. When I took a photo of the Yasaka tower some time ago it manifested a special blue wind symbolizing an upper and wider movement. The combination of the blue sky and the tower was obviously derived from an ancient time and also was a historic light-scape of an unknown future. Though I could not identify its meaning my soul trembled at this vision with brilliantly shining stars. My soul kept on trembling as this looked like a legendary world. Today I held the video screening of the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert held on the 24th December last year. Because every performance was an improvisation, I was glad to be able to realize what happened at the concert by watching its video that also predicted our future with a lot of hope. Everything that happened in the past would be rewarded, souls of people would be resurrected and everything would be unified at the present moment to create a wonderful future. I became filled with energy to live on. Without taking profit of this precious experience my life would be meaningless. The extremely romantic and historic light-scape that I envisioned at the video screening was the unity of the Yasaka tower and the dark blue sky. I shed tears out of joy, gratitude to everything and great impressions of being alive in this moment.
