"The concept of [ 愼 ] (humility) is most important.

"The concept of [ 愼 ] (humility) is most important.
As long as you serve God, you must be [愼] (humble)."
Reverend Nobuyoshi WATARAI,
Kan-nushi (Shinto priest) at Geguu (Outer Shrine of Ise)
[外宮祠官度会延佳翁言]
-------------------------------------------------------
Subject: [ 愼 ] (humility), the inscription of Reverend Harunobu TAKASHIRO
On 2 July 2005, at the Tokyo congress for celebrating the first anniversary of Seishin-sha [ 精心會 ] (social unification), d-k was given the inscription of [ 愼 ] (humility) by Reverend Harunobu TAKASHIRO, associate chief priest of Ise Shrine. [ 伊勢神宮 高城治延 少宮司 ]
-------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Hasegawa's concept is in accord with the Shinto cosmos. Its invisible power, coming from [ 無常 ] (“anicca” or transience) and going beyond time and space, is intertwined with the 'idea'-word of Shinto. It is identical to the power of the Gods, 'something great'
Its prayers transcend three dimensions, bearing a universal form of pathos that penetrates every single being.
I am sincerely glad to have met you Mr. Hasegawa, an encounter that was blessed by God. I am looking forward to hearing from you regarding the purpose of your visit to the Shrine.
Evening of 6 May 2005, at Toyo-Uke Dai-Jin-Gu, Ise Shrine
Kouichi EZAWA, Priest
-------------------------------------------------------
Words...
[d-k]... In sum, [ 愼 ] (humility) is an emotion that is absolutely necessary for human rationality. In other words, it is an element that makes a human being 'human.'
[d-k]... The word, '[ 真 ] (truth)' is a rule of nature, a message from God.
The harmony we are seeking exists in the essence of [ 愼 ] (humility).
That is, d-k has a power that equally and harmoniously leads our sense of the potential of human beings. Prior to all else, we are reminded of [ 愼 ] (humility) throughout our entire lives.
[d-k]... Methodological thought through which the rhythm of life may be understood. An internal movement that is able to move mountains. Whenever and wherever, you will be accepted with full love.

[d-k]... A universal form of spirit.
[d-k]... Where do you exist? Blood flows continuously.
[d-k]... Are you released from thought? This is a world of sensual order.
[d-k]... Does it result in prayer? The mirror of our minds.
[d-k]... A hope in the darkness.
With all gratitude to Mr. Hasegawa,
Sincerely
Dawn of 31 May 2005
Yasukazu EZAWA, Priest at Ise Shrine
-------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Hasegawa
Your world is the universal spirit for humanity. After all, the world of d-k is not only your world but also the world of all sentient beings. Therefore, it is nothingness.
Released from anxiety, with a peace of mind that you can devote yourself to, the world full of love, the darkness, it is hope!
Your proposal is filled with celebration. God bless you and d-k.
Yasukazu EZAWA, Priest at Ise Shrine
-------------------------------------------------------
Nothing to own, being natural, nothing to say...
To behave naturally, that is Shinto.
Transcend the self...
It is a fact that you become nature, and that nature and you become as one.
Then, the universe becomes me.
The projected images of d-k are not an expression nor a simulation, but discrete data that is being generated in sequence. All are reflections of the mirror that your mind bears.
Ultimately, you will realize that you are a spirit existing in the cosmos.

Akira Hasegawa

aHA interview_01
-Feeling good-
-I do not send any message to people on the film.
I do not creat a commercial message that a certain
product is good.
I just tell people that a certain product looks good,
an introduction, as if knocking on the door. After all,
the product manufacturer sells it.-

-At the interval, between the very previous image and
the one you are looking just now, when you 'feel good'
that commercial message leaves 'feeling of good' to audience.-
