Feeling relived



I won the “quasi-grand prize” at the calligraphy exhibition called “Sogen Exhibition”.

Because of misunderstanding and mismatched sense of values, I hadn’t been given satisfactory remarks from my master.
Through the hard times, I almost lost heart many times, wondering if I was wrong.
Still I could hold on to my will because of many people who helped me behind the scenes and my daughters who supported me.
I won the prize as a result of gathered votes from the judges, and I believe it meant “the way you have lived your life is fine”.

The joy to get out of the long tunnel relieved me…this is how I honestly feel.

Please watch the way I will live my life.
I declare that my activities won’t betray you.
