Dream of Yasaka

Some time ago, I saw in my night dream, a wonderful café with a gentle allowance of light through trees and fresh breezes of Koguryo. Inside the shop there were many people who came to be cherished and appreciate the high spirituality of Koguryo and they were watching a video of Mt. Gojo with music created by Mr. Idaki Shin. I named this café Koguryo Café and rather secretly I started to look for a suitable location for opening this Café. I went all the way to South Korea and visited the university area, etc, in vain. Several years have passed and when I was listening to the dynamic sound of the piano played by Mr. Idaki Shin at one of his concerts in Osaka, I recalled my concert in Tyre Lebanon and a dream I had at the age of ten. That was to unify people in China, South Korea and North Korea as they were separated by history but originally there was no border. Because my ancestors took abode in Japan and lived a life of exile over one thousand three hundred years, I have been praying for peace since childhood. When I read about this at the concert in Tyre everybody was deeply impressed and shed tears of sadness echoing to my heart. So I acknowledged that this wish was not a mere personal one but something universal. At last year’s concert in Osaka this sincere wish had revived and I determined to endeavor myself to realize a truly peaceful world. When I shed tears I acknowledged that numerous souls shed tears together with me. I could not oppress this wish any more. Meanwhile I came to have the opportunity to hold a series of our concerts in Kyoto and I received a message from king Kotai that in the battle field everyone was at the risk of one’s life so the only solution for survival was to keep on winning till the end. Our last concert in Kyoto was very big and following this message I realized many plans to make it sell out. One of them was to hold my gallery exhibition and I came across one art gallery in Yasaka. For some reason Yasaka looked quite familiar to me and indeed many people came to see my exhibition. Also I met many people who said they were attracted by something that touched their souls. When I visited Yasaka tower, one day, I was amazed to discover that this tower was inaugurated by emperor Shotokuytaishi commemorating the eternal prosperity of Koguryo’s tribes. Breezes of ancient Koguryo were blowing around Yasaka and also by chance an old house nearby attracted my attention. I asked my staff to find out more about it as I felt like living there. Later I came to know that that house was available for rent and I made up my mind to open Koguryo Café there. I was grateful to my ancestor’s souls that have led me to Yasaka and are realizing Koguryo Café at the Koguryo-related place in Kyoto. I would globally diffuse energy for peace from my ancestor’s land working together with their souls.
