Breath for building a new nation
As I stood in front of the Yasaka tower, I envisioned that numerous souls were resurrected and had started to lay the foundation for a new world. I was excited at the sign of building a new nation. In the kitchen of the Koma gallery Café, Mr. Idaki Shin was boiling red beans for new Zenzai sweets that would awaken souls of people and provide good luck. Everything here was full of vitality. Our new world that allowed everyone’s life to shine brilliantly was very beautiful and pure. On the second floor, I exhibited costumes in the fashion of ancient Koguryo that I had newly created and ladies who tried one of them on looked extremely beautiful and greatly impressed me. A woman unified with a new beautiful space made us realize a truly good society. Everything looked different and renewed. I was filled with hope for our marvelous future. As one took a Koguryo costume, she manifested a truly free state of life. Though they were my own works, they greatly impressed me and I felt that no other costume in the world was more beautiful than mine. At the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert, with pleasure and joy, I wore one of these costumes that made me realize its unity with the surrounding space as if I were flying freely over the vast universe. Some time ago I was very sad as my favorite fashion designer had passed away and I was at a loss what to wear in future. So I did not imagine that I would come to create my costume by myself after the fashion of Koguryo. I greatly enjoyed my life full of creative energy. A new era had come, and everyone could manifest one’s true nature and build a new nation. I was determined to move forwards and realize global peace. Thank you very much.
