Wind of Koguryo

As I passed under the back gate of the Koma gallery Café at Yasaka, Kyoto, the Yasaka tower came into my sight in front of me surrounded by ginkgo trees whose falling sound told me the change of the season. I always felt extremely grateful to be able to open my Café and install in the morning the Koma calligraphy in its inner garden. It was shining brilliantly in gold reflecting the light-scape of falling leaves of ginkgo. I was moved by its magnificent beauty of nature and felt grateful to the state of life in harmony with nature. While I organized our events in Kyoto, the Idaki Shin concert and the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered concert, on every occasion I produced free papers that I named winds of Koguryo and wishing to deliver them to everyone in Kyoto many volunteer staff were working with me. This time, I used for their front page a photo of snow covered Mt. Gojo photographed by Mr. Idaki Shin that I trembled at watching together with the calligraphy of the paper, Winds of Koguryo. A special wind coming from my internality was a wind of Koguryo and was the source for creating poems. I expressed that I would open up a marvelous future of mankind together with this wind; a wind in Mt. Gojo, ancient capital city of Koguryo, Jiian and wind of Great Being, and souls that were always endeavoring to create a truly peaceful human world throughout history..
