Flower petals of cherry blossoms

 

I would like to express my deepest gratitude from the bottom of my heart to be able to have successfully and safely held the very important Idaki Shin concert on the special day. I was happy to come to know that many people abroad have also participated in it through live Internet transmission and Prof. Ghazi from Lebanon has already sent me his precious message. I was impressed by a passage about the aroma of cherry blossoms that coincided marvelously with a light-scape I envisioned during the concert that was a dance of cherry blossoms, and I felt the presence of the wife of Master Idaki Shin. I realized that the beauty of a human soul was eternal. Cherry blossoms have been the companions of the lives of Japanese people since ancient times and numerous people embraced a heart with them and tried to ascend to Heaven. Now that cherry blossoms had fallen down their cherry color was seen on the ground. However I envisioned that petals of flowers were joyfully dancing towards Heaven.
One day before the concert I was guarded by the Yasaka tower, and, blown by a special wind of Koguryo, I created marbling art works in the inner garden of the Koma gallery Café. I wished to create an original costume, and as I poured a paint into water I saw that petals of cherry blossoms that were blown by a wind were on its surface and moving around with water waves. This beautiful light-scape of the unity of waves of water and flower petals attracted my heart. Then I wished that this vision would be expressed in my art work. This beautiful moment was also revived as I listened to the music at the concert together with the message of the concert that was that the beautiful landscape of Yamato was a flower of the universe. I realized something as I heard that a human soul would be revived, while after having encountered Master Idaki Shin I felt many times that my life was totally renewed and innate negative destinies were greatly improved. I wished to share with many people all over the world this happiness and precious truth of human life of experiencing the rebirth of one’s life many times. And today I realized that in reality my soul was reborn many times. I was greatly moved to have acknowledged this wonderful and mysterious human nature.
Meanwhile since childhood I hated Japanese traditional clothes, Kimono, for an unknown reason, as I felt insulted and pains in my heart, however at today’s concert, following a message I had received, I put on the special Kimono that I had created with my marbling art works. When I tied a Koma string on the top I was moved by the tradition that the special string named Koma finished wearing the Kimono. Culture of Koguryo could be found in various parts in Japanese life and culture. I felt the hearts of ancient people and, touched at heart, I would keep on expressing my deepest wish to create a new world of the truth. The flower petals of cherry blossoms reflected an ancient light-scape and also a vision coming from an unknown future. They were present also in an eternal world of Tokyo and a companion of our life as Master Idaki Shin wrote in his message.
I realized a beautiful human soul and eternity. The pipe organ played by Master Idaki Shin echoed to the prayers of people all over the world and seamlessly made me encounter Great Being that manifested a future era and how a human being should live on. This was a great beginning.
