A great romanticism of history

Yesterday as soon as I ate the special Zenzai made by Mr. Idaki Shin, I was greatly impressed as I realized that the souls of Koguryo people were revived and while tears did not stop coming up in my eyes, I drew mind-scape art works on ties and installed them at the Koma gallery space on the second floor. Each looked like a person. As I placed rhinestones instance after instance feeling an encounter with souls the work looked quite different from my usual manner. Sometimes my consciousness questioned the way I put them, however, I decided to enjoy the new process of creating art works. When I exhibited them all together they looked like a troop from Koguryo. Certainly there must have lived in ancient times Koguryo people with the same light of life as each tie. I felt like facing them in reality and when visitors came to appreciate them, a particular tie started to shine as if it were appealing to its true owner. So when I watched someone who treated a tie just like an ordinary one, I felt very sorry. I started to teach people the message of each tie, a light-scape that I envisioned when one person put one on. My expression became rather strategic wishing to manifest the true nature of a candidate owner who had chosen one. I appreciated their great influences on me as they were indeed a strategic and marvelous Koguryo troop. I had a great day meeting with ancient Koguryo people’s souls transcending time and space. We talked about a probability that a human king in the future would be able to read the meanings of each mind-scape drawing as I did today. Everybody there was excited. At night I held a gathering of poems for life and Mr. Idaki Shin dedicated himself to making special rice-balls, Zenzai, and coffee that brought all of us good luck and filled our hearts with extreme joy. Nothing was left but to endeavor ourselves to open up a future for humankind. As I looked up the Yasaka tower standing out in the dark night sky, it made me acknowledge my life full of romanticism of history. It was in February last year that I had visited the Yasaka shrine. It was a season of plum flowers and received a message from the land that has repeatedly told me to build “Koma” and now I have opened the Koma gallery Café, having collaborated together with numerous souls of my ancestors at the most beautiful place, and unified its view with the Yasaka tower for the sake of opening up a future of mankind. I remained extremely impressed and grateful from the bottom of my heart to be provided with historic moments in my life.
