New spirituality

I have arrived at Yasaka, Kyoto about sunset and the Yasaka tower welcomed us as if it stepped forward to us out of great joy. It looked purified with water and totally refreshed. I was very excited at heart as it expressed the opening of a completely new world. The space around us looked purified and the endless dark blue sky was stretching towards Heaven to open up a marvelous future. My heart was also purified. Everything was ready to celebrate the birthday concert of Mr. Idaki Shin. As I stood in front of the Koma calligraphy, I was greatly impressed by the beauty of human spirituality in the world three stages before the Big Bang. Nobody could touch this holy world as it was in a completely different and infinite dimension where I envisioned the authentic new divinity. At night I started dying textiles for my new art works in the inner garden of the Koma gallery Café. The Yasaka tower seemed warmly to guard me and I felt that my ancestors used to dye textile in ancient times as I did now. I have never dreamt nor imagined that various accidental incidents have led me to practice textile works blown by winds of Yasaka. My life was full of mysterious things, however I became certain that some important things in my life were arranged throughout long human history. The sound of opening a wood crafted window sounded like something familiar both to me and to my ancestors. As night fell, Mr. Idaki Shin started to make Lucky Zenzai and its special taste made me imagine a beautiful goddess; nothingness and purity. I was filled with vigor to open up our future. Special beans he made for ice cream were also wonderful and made me recall the powerful energy of Mt. Gojo and king Tomei; sources for building a new dynasty.
