We calmly and politely advance forward, with " Seashore " Japanese calligraphy



I was going to notice something.
What I do not know is infinite.

On the other side of the wall.



The association leaves me as a past.
Though that time progresses.

The way is steep.



The conception continues endlessly.
The self-restraint will rescue us.

Here is east beach, Karatsu-shi, Saga Prefecture.

When I watch the sea, I remember the tone of the samisen.
It sounds through from the far-off place not to know where it is.

And we brought up various traditions and cultures.

They are our spirits or soul itself, still never change.
