Aroma of secret

I anticipated something wonderful and became very excited when I had decided to open the Keiko Koma basement gallery at our head office in Roppongi, and today my vision was realized, having installed my art works to create a pure Koguryo space. As if I were at home in a land of Koguryo a special breeze was blowing around and made me extremely happy and vigorous. While I had questioned many times about the meaning of my life since childhood; why I was born, how I should live on and what would happen after death, I marveled at the special sensation of extreme joy when I was visiting an historic place of Koguryo. I did not need to ask for anything more than just being alive and staying there. So I rejoiced at the new Koguryo space I had created on the basement floor. Thereafter, I would feel like having come back to my home land by just going down to the basement. I heard that in Arabic tradition a person whose name had three characters K was said to have a secret power to change the world and I said that our basement gallery corresponded very well to this idea of three Ks. I wished to manifest this secret power and today I sensed a special aroma of secret. While more and more new ideas were coming up in my mind I would realize them one by one. My life would greatly open up from now on.
