My homeland

 

As I entered my home in Kyoto, the photo of the Yasaka tower that I called “Blue Wind” jumped into my heart to diffuse an energy of blue wind all at once. In front of the table there were a photo frame of a lake pictured from Mt. Gojo, Huaren district I, Ryonei, China, and a calligraphy of my poem that I painted with black ink. Just by watching them my soul trebled, and an energy came up from within my heart to guide me towards a future. My homeland was the source of life energy and I cherished this at heart with gratitude.
My home in Kyoto made me acknowledge that the special blue wind and the landscape of my homeland were always encouraging my heart, and I was gratefully paving a way for unifying Eastern Asia countries that I had dreamt of since childhood. The time has come, and now my heart was torched with flares of enthusiasm, while my life was destined to come to Kyoto and open my places in order to diffuse our activities to the eastern Asia countries and to the rest of the world. Until that time I would keep on moving forwards.
My life was provided with many wonderful things far beyond my imagination. My heart was excited and full of hope and dreams. I was grateful to my life.
Now I was guided to Mt. Hiei and became excited at mysterious encounters that I did not know how to express properly in words.
It was when I was a junior school student that in school travel I went to Nara and Mt. Hiei. When I was walking along a small passage by a rice field in Nara all of a sudden I burst into tears for a great feeling of nostalgia, and when I drove down at night from Mt. Hiei to Kyoto the similar view of great nostalgia was engraved in my heart as if I had taken a photo with my internality. Since then this permanently remained within my heart as a marvelous light-scape. When I opened my place in Kyoto all of a sudden, I recalled my experience but I could not deeply understand the meaning nor dare to think about it. Years have passed, and last year when I held my mind-scape art works exhibition in Nara facing the historic ruin of Heijou palace, by chance on the way back to Kyoto from Nara I drove through Mt. Hiei at night and envisioned the same light-scape as I had in my heart. I raised my voice of cheers and surprise and said that “This is the right place.” I was hit by a strong impulse and time seemed to have stopped; past and present were unified. Now finally the time has come when the truth was going to be manifest. I was destined to open a new atelier on Mt. Hiei. My life was a truly mysterious one, and many unpredictable things had happened. I acknowledged my deepest wish within my heart that was tremendously strong. I was excited anticipating what would come next.
