●Website reopening
After five years, I have decided to open my website again, so that I can keep you informed about my whereabouts, and also share with you my art pieces, as the expression of the outcry of my heart. My sincere wish is that those who come in contact with me may come to know the truth and reality regarding my view of my life and the world.
Visit to Nepal in 2010 Sight from a propeller plane (picture taken on September 6)
Now that I’m over 50 years of age, I am well aware of my responsibility to both my family, and society. Standing at the threshold of the latter half of my life, I’m earnestly reflecting on how to make it truly worthwhile.
As it is said, “time flies.” Our life, though it seems to last a long time, flies away in seconds.
Just as our life cannot be produced by our own will, so, neither, can our death. It comes as suddenly as falling flower petals blown by the wind.
When I ponder just how we can live a valuable life, my conclusion is this: I believe that it is to give all effort in order to realize your own dream in harmony with the public interest. We human beings can never live alone. From the moment we are born, we are nurtured, protected, and loved by our parents and family. Later on, our community, society, and nature nurture us throughout our lives.
Accordingly, the most important key to the true ideal and value in our lives can be determined by the degree that we as individuals are recognized in relation to people and situations as valuable members in the public arena, who can foster the spirit of public service which creates happiness. When one’s uniqueness or talent is contributed for the happiness of many people, it will always give one the sense of richness and deeper meaning. The hearts of these happy people will produce a bright and shiny reflection on his or her heart. As this attitude is passed on, from generation to generation, like cloth sashes worn by relay runners; it will create a great circle of hearts which will spread to nations, the world – and the future.
Utilizing all of my experiences in living, up until today, with so many precious people I’ve come in contact with, I’m inspired to help build a valuable life and world for all of us. If that can contribute to world peace and progress, then, there is nothing more that I could wish for. It will be the greatest privilege in my life.
Finally, it is my heartfelt desire that this home page can help deepen our true and benevolent relationships.
