Spring in an ancient capital city

I named the photo of Kyoto taken by Mr. Idaki Shin “Spring in Kyoto” that was brilliantly shining in pink and generating an aroma of ancient times that could also be seen as a light-scape of an unknown future. Every time as I watched it I enjoyed the same sensation and vision, I became very excited anticipating something wonderful would happen in near future. I smiled at the unexpected vital reaction of my own. However I greatly enjoy watching it and I was grateful to my life full of richness to be provided with wonderful time repeatedly within one day just by watching it. Also today I had the chance to take a seat at the big wooden center table of the Koma gallery Café and ate the fresh sweet beans hand made on the spot by Mr. Idaki Shin. Moreover it was served to everybody in original ceramic cups that I had put in my mind-scape drawing and it was so delicious that I did not know how to describe it sufficiently in words. Everyone had a great time appreciating the taste and lovely art works. Eventually I recalled a message I had received when I had visited Wandu castle city that people were living a happy and joyful life just being together in one place as they were always filled with human warmth. And today as the night fell, Yasaka became soundless, however I could hear a voice of souls and we realized the same human warmth and happiness to be all together. Koma gallery Café was designed to diffuse this warm and happy energy all over the world.
