From Armenia

Today we held a press conference and Mr. Idaki Shin said that he would express messages coming from the universe and demonstrate how all humankind should live a new life to open up our future. I saw a light of hope that filled my heart with joy. In Armenia, people usually try to express one’s deepest feelings in the first place, in response to which I reply with gratitude from the bottom of my heart so that we can enjoy very warm heart to heart conversations and companionship. At the parliament of Armenia one deputy member who read my poems told me that everybody’s heart for  one’s homeland should be the same as is, for Armenian people, Mt. Ararat, for Japanese people, Mt. Fuji and for Koguryo people, Mt. Gojo. Because Mt. Ararat was now under the territory of Turkey, Armenian people are prohibited to go there. So they understand very well my heart for Mt. Gojo. I had not expected in Armenia to engage in  conversation on homeland. I was very impressed, and tears came up in my eyes. Later today, I visited a college that has Japanese language courses as I was asked repeatedly to meet students who have been eager to see me while they used my poems as texts for translation class. 
Our interpreter told me that they considered my poem on Armenia as something written by an Armenian, as it captured their deepest feeling. I rejoiced at everything, to see that everybody’s heart was unified.
