To Kyoto

When I was preparing my trip to Kyoto last night, I felt as if there was an important ceremony. Though the purpose of my visit was to do an installation of my art works and I need to put on only simple clothes, I felt like dressing up. I recalled that I had the same feeling when I went to China. On arriving at the airport, I went to a toilet to make up with assiduous care. In reality I did not have friends to meet nor relatives. However, I sensed that numerous souls of my ancestors had been waiting for my visit. Every time I visited an historic site of Koguryo, I felt the same thing. At the same time I recalled with joy, beautiful light and gentle breezes that I cherished in my childhood.
I wondered if I had envisioned at that time my future full of hope, then I might as well be living an ideal life right now. So as I was sensing now the arrival of truly glorious days, I was filled with enormous hope for the future. Owing to Mr. Idaki Shin, not only my life but also the souls of my ancestors have been renewed and we were realizing global peace. My deepest wishes and those of my ancestors were going to be fulfilled. My ancestor’s soul was still alive and made me inform when I was about to visit its historic sites..
