Let there be light. We are originally one light from the universe …
Flowers, butterflies, trees, and We human are all part of the universe. Everything We see reminds us that we’ve came from the light.
We find the god in the nature …it’s the reflection of the light within us.
Enjoy each moment and meditate with sacred light in mt.KURAMA with my photos.
I wish all souls are healed and awaken in the light with divine love. Remember the light within your heart!
These photos are from the series “ Light within” (http://relaxmaxontheroad.com/#lightwithin)
Photos as the medicine which allows you to expand self healing power…! Powerful Light energy from sacred mount KURAMA!
Note// In Kurama-dera they believe Sonten.
(Sonten is the “Living Soul of the universe”, the “Glorious Light”, and the”Activity of the Soul”)

Me in kimono ’96
Photo by Ikeno photo studio in Osaka
Portrait of ME 20 years old.
In Japan We have ritual called “SEIJIN SHIKI 成人式“
We dress up in Kimono (this Kimono my mam bought me when I was 15) and take portrait
I only wear this special KIMONO called FURISIDE 振袖(ふりそで) which means long sleeve kimono , 3times in my life(20 for seijin, 24 for my friend’s wedding , 41 for my selfie at Tenryuji coz I wanted to have special selfie)
FURISODE 振袖 is expensive special one,( so why don’t we Japanese wear Kimono that much or is it only me?)
How many times in my life, I would wear this FURISODE?
This year 2021, it’s difficult to get together (No成人式in some areas in Japan),
I wish someday They(new 20 boys and girls 新成人さんたち)could get together after CORONA world!

It’s Heaven and Earth…it’s Nature.

Can not
Be same
Forever…so how come?
How Human can?

Lao Tzu Tao Ching
Relaxmax 訳 (Translation from Chinese to English)
All Things Pass – Lao-Tzu
From: “Psychedelic Prayers”, page 51
All things pass
A sunrise does not last all morning
All things pass
A cloudburst does not last all day
All things pass
Nor a sunset all night
All things pass
What always changes?
(from translations adapted by Timothy Leary [1920-1996])===============================
Lao-Tzu (ca. 6th century BC) is traditionally considered the author of the Tao Te Ching and the founder of Taoism. Timothy Leary was a Harvard professor and advocate for the use of LSD to expand conciousness. He compiled this version of the poem from a collection of English translations.
I wrote this short story in English in 2022(in Japanese 2000? Or…it’s not murakami’s Vanishing Elephant, so Panda is in China (not vanished …) in 2023.)
I wrote this after watching PANDA!(or I should say “HANAMI”!
In Kobe (OUJI zoo)…
Some panda went back to home(china)…pls find out more (you can google it… I saw about Japan(2), USA(1),France(1)…
I love PANDA
Panda for friendship:)!
Hope NEW panda is coming to JP again!

“I can’t understand How life goes on the way it does”
Somewhere in hip hop soul community
I’D love to see you guys !
彼らに
Hiphop soulコミュニティのどこかで
会えたらいいな。
in the timeline of hip hop culture as well as the fabric of music and for now on when we perform “Ring Ring Ring Ha Ha Hey” we will say “2-2-2-2-222 we got an angel in heaven who can talk to you”
Music is but a drop in the ocean of life.

He was just waiting for
A new body
To complete emission
彼はただ
新しいボディを待っていた
光の(命の)放出を完成させるために
命を完全に全うすること

…I wake up in the morning and I wonder“Why everything the same as it was I can‘t understand, no, I can’t understand How life goes on the way it does”
朝目が覚めて どうしてすべていままで通り? わからない
NO どうして今までみたく 生きていけると思えるの?

FromGarcía Márquez wiki
…for me
kind of colonel is…K sensei
who is a teacher at evening school in Sakai (not at my junior high school, different one), teaching math (and chemistry), smoking with pipe, kind of disabled (he can see with one eye…blocked perspective)…he taught me math when I was low teen and HE GAVE ME his CAMERA! My first ever Camera, NIKON FE and 55mm!…He talked a lot!
After I made this page (I had this poem, but it wasn’t on this photobook yet…then…) …
I don’t exactly remember
“THIS MOMENT”
like
Gabriel García Márquez…
When I started my journey in 2012,
I wanted to “create something”!(taking photos on the road!)
But never know I will write a NOVEL…(nor photos into “photobook”)
I heard (on that Novel ) “ciudad” is fictional …and he was writing “Cien años de soledad” in Mexico somewhere…
la ciudad de los espejos (o espejismos)seria arrasada por el viento y desterrada de la memoria des hombres en el instante en que Aureliano Babilonia acabara de descifar los pergaminos, y que todo los escrito en ellos en era irrepetible desde siempre y para siempre por que los estirpes condenadas a cien años de soledad no tenìan una segunda oportunidad sobre la tierra.
