March 11, 2012 - This day marks the first anniversary of Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami. Our heart goes out to so many people who lost everything. Today Japan sees the unprecedented calamity with the aftermath of this tragedy. We continue to pray for safety and health of all who are affected and that their lives will be restored in not too distant future. We continue to work along with many countless people in the world to take a part in the smallest way but to the extent it could be some consolation. |

In March, there was an unbelievable scale of devastation in Japan. In the midst of such difficulty when many are facing hardship to survive, people wondered what art can do. There may be some who may think that it is powerless. No, I don’t believe so. Art is not powerless. Art, I believe, is a communication itself that tells that no one is alone; that we cry when we feel sad, that we laugh when we are happy. People stand in a long queue to see an opera or to see an art exhibition to confirm this thought. |

On the occasion of The Charity Concert for Peace and Nuclear Non-Proliferation, let me offer my congratulations on your “Harmony for Peace” charity concert for peace and nuclear non-proliferation. It truly is signifi cant that a concert, with the artists from six countries that embody a passion for peace, is held at the same time as the 2010 Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Conference in New York. I pay my deepest respect to Ms. |
