Beautiful time

 

On the way to an atelier of my fellow staff member, I was greatly attracted by the nostalgic landscape, I had forgotten an elapse of time, and wondered about my life. It was when I was told to die within two months that I made up my mind to visit Tohoku district, and saw a marvelously shining water surface of a river that was perpetuated within my heart as a light-scape to live on. Then I encountered Master Idaki Shin and my life was saved. I recalled also that after having visited places around the disaster hit areas after the Tohoku Tsunami, I sat by a beautiful river side under cherry blossoms and willow trees that were waving to a wind, and eventually I became greatly motivated to set up my space there. And now I have been coming every month and experiencing the changes of four seasons.
At the garden of the atelier, there were lovely flowers that I used to see in my childhood. I embraced a nostalgia and yearning for a marvelous future. My heart became greatly excited.
In the land of the north, we were surrounded by an atmosphere for building a new country as we got together and unified at heart. We had a great time and shared delicious sweets. Though we did not have material wealth, we were happy and knew that we could create anything if necessary.
The joy of working together in the land of Tohoku made my life truly vigorous and encouraged me to open up a marvelous future. Thank you very much for a beautiful time.
