Phoenicia

 

Today I went to Murano Island to visit a Venetian glass factory. The waves of the sea dazzled my eyes with fear and uneasiness. However I acknowledged guidance by Great Being that provided me with the opportunity to overcome something important in my life. While in this city of water we would hold a meeting for fabricating an order-made special piano for Master Idaki Shin. I always tried to open up a marvelous future and made up my mind to create a new instrument. However I did not imagine that I would come to face my weak point. I speculated about this coincidence and finally came to feel gratitude at heart for Great Being. At the factory Master Idaki Shin presented me with a special Venetian glass art work in the form of a shield for my new atelier. There he painted a view of the city with water, and at first I felt an uneasiness. However soon I realized the presence of souls of Phoenicia, an ancient sea people that moved my heart and encouraged me to sail away for realizing a global peace. A new marvelous future was envisioned. Like this the encounter with the sea in Venice became a great one to open up our future widely. I like to thank someone from the bottom of my heart.
