Light of fresh herbal green

I decided to celebrate the Setsubun, the beginning of spring, by holding a fair of my new glass ware art works, Komasui, and I rejoiced and raised my voice looking at the photo of its leaflet. I was excited at its brilliant light and aroma that seemed to tell of the arrival of the spring season and the era of truth for human history. I recalled that the herb in the photo came into my heart when I had turned around in Kyoto as I was addressed by somebody who narrated a poem about an ancient princess. I envisioned a beautiful future as a wind of spring passed through my life. Now that I had opened the Koma gallery Café at Yasaka, Kyoto, I played a DVD including my narration of the poem to realize that the message in the poem was true. Everything was real. My body and soul trembled at this great romanticism of history that should never come to an end.
