Voices of souls

Many visitors to the basement gallery of Café Akira were animated as they talked about the world of souls. I recalled that when I had lost my father Mr. Idaki Shin drew a calligraphy read as soul and presented it to me and that had enormously encouraged me so I could resume my mission. From this experience I realized a soul was the center of my life. And also I recalled that one day my ancestors, kings of Koguryo and my father, have visited me and told me that I should not stick to my remaining fortunes as they were temporal wealth, instead, I should dedicate myself to handing over the precious spirituality of Koguryo that was eternal. Following this message I have decided to establish NPO KOMA as I remembered vividly even their tone of voices and closely felt their presence. Since then I came to talk more about the world of souls. And these days many volunteer staff  members of NPO KOMA were talking about the power of souls as they frequented Café Akira to see my photo exhibition entitled journey to Koguryo and they were deeply impressed. One person told me that she was so excited at its entrance that she was almost about to step in without taking off her shoes and her heart started beating very fast surrounded by my pictures that started to address her soul. She marveled at some photos that seemed to dictate her future. To my big joy, Ms. Emi and Ms. Ai, daughters of Mr. Idaki Shin, told me the same thing and said it was indeed the work of souls. As I visited my exhibition I  encountered light, winds and aroma of Koguryo and I had a great time. During my journey to Koguryo’s historic sites, I felt that ever since I was born I knew everything I saw, heard and experienced as I have inherited within my life a landscape of the homeland of Koguryo. Each photo of mine looked like a piece of stone that made the marvelous fortification walls of Koguryo’s ancient capital. I wished that everyone would manifest one’s true light of life and made a solid base in the world of souls for realizing a truly peaceful world.
