Wind

 

I was blown by a wind on Mt. Hiei that made my heart excited anticipating a marvelous future. When I made up my mind to build my atelier there, a big wind blew. I considered it a voice of a soul and my whole life trembled. I envisioned that in some future human beings would live an authentic human life and our initiative right now was connected to this. My heart was touched by the special wind that made me envision a future. My life was deeply associated with Mt. Hiei, however, ever since I had visited there in my junior school trip, I did not feel like going there again and many years had passed. After having opened the Koma Gallery Café at Yasaka, I did visit there from Yasaka after long absence. My heart was excited by a nostalgic aroma as if I met one of my relatives from whom we had been separated a long time ago. I heard within my heart a melting sound of snow of the sadness of separations in history. The time had come. I had never imagined that I would come to open a new atelier at Mt. Hiei. This should be guidance by Great Being. I also heard that there lived deer, while as I said many times that my name, Koma contained the symbol of a pair of deer as the most beautiful image on earth, I was happy to hear the name of a deer. We were building our atelier at Mt. Hiei and a pleasant wind there was still vivid in my heart. This taught me that our future would be glorious. I was heading for the coming Idaki Shin concert that would create a marvelous future.
