１)Merry Present
Few days ago DVD of Beijing Olympics Openig Ceremony was arrived from Mr.Zhang Yimou.It's a special edition and only for people concerned,presented.
In the movie Merry smiles umbrellas are in closeup and beautiful.

I appreciate for beautiful smiles, you presented for Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony.on the outer packaging.
On the inner packaging These smiles are most beautiful in the world! Thank you!

I really appreciate for his kindness; he was so busy because of �the direction Olympics Closing ceremony and Paralympics Opening Ceremony,

He has a really good writing! That's Chinese, though he is a perfectly international person!

I talked with Zhang Yimou and Cai Guo-Qiang in Olympics center last December for the first time.
Steven Allan Spielberg has not been here yet. Yimou has not seen concerned person of Olympics yet.
You are the first person! Soon after we met, I wrote my autograph on the document of state secrets; Not to speak!
I felt so nervous.As I recall that time, this DVD is �dream present.



At that time I took pictures of Shizuka and Hao; assistant of Yimou.
They had still merry feeling, though on the next morning early we had to talk with attorney.
So I could feel also at ease and talk with them merrily.
They brought me to a hotel the day and next morning they picked me up to the hotel.
Women have supported a lot and Olympics could succeed.
It's a result of merry asian women's effort.

The all attorney that I met next day were also female.
From early morning till 3 o'clock afternoon we'd been talking but remained as far apart as ever.
Jeniffer stopped the meeting once and we went to have a lunch.
I was amazingly stubborn for most of the chinese stuff...
But I was also exhausted...
I went alone to the Olympics Stadium, took pictures for a memory and back to the hotel,
When I arrived at the hotel, a medal and a letter were laid.
That said We were really surprised at your passion. Let's try together for a success!

All night long ,by the time I left for the airport, I'v been writing a long long letter.
After I was back to Tokyo, we wrote sooooo much each other.
But now I think that's a cultural interchange and also a communication.
To effort together for an aim is a height of a friendship between Japan and China.

From this national event;Olympics,
I felt again the basic of s creativity; to solve each problems, to effort each other, to step up day by day, nothing was built in a day, passion and effort are important for everything.

2)Call from Cai Guo-Qiang
Just before the Paralympics Cai Guo-Qiang called to my office directly.
He told me,
"Now I'm calling from the Olympics stadium.
As Zhang Yimou wrote to you on the DVD, presentation of smiles was a really great success!
Thank you so much!!
Smile's umbrellas might be given to you, I talk with Olympics Committee.
Next month I'm going to Tokyo and Hiroshima. Let's meet again!”
I said to him about fireworks of Olympics Ceremonies,
"It's like a big drawing on the sky!"
He became happily and told me,
"Please see the Paralympics opening ceremony too. "



3)Merry Garden
In busy days because of the Beijing Olympics and other Events also, we poured water
to vegetables in Merry garden on the roof. We had a good crop and mini harvest festivals.
Especially eggplants and sweet pepper grow so quickly and much day by day.
I really appreciate for them.I think it's really art! I feel that they are drawing in the nature.
It's just contemporary creative

Now wait till the next MERRY COLUMN!
