Yoko Ono's visit to Nagasaki (Slide show) オノ・ヨーコさん長崎訪問。

Yoko Ono visited Nagasaki for the first time,and put flowers on monument to the victims of the bombing.(accompanied by her daughter Kiyoko Ono)

She was small,but　looked brave and calm.

After putting the flowers,She stood still in front of the monument with her eyes closed for about two minutes. I could feel her deep prayer, and I was so impressed.

She was appointed to a special peace correspondent by the Mayer of Nagasaki during this visit.

Saint Francis Xavier and the Roots of Christianity in Japan | nippon.com

Arriving in Japan in 1550, Jesuit priest Francis Xavier played a key role in the early spread of Christianity in the country. His missionary work included preaching in Hirado in the northwest of present-day Nagasaki Prefecture, where Christianity took root most firmly and “hidden Christians” preserved the faith during centuries of prohibition. Today Hirado is home to numerous historic churches, testifying to the enduring influence of Spanish and Portuguese missionaries.

이마바리 시에 있는 이마바리 성은 에도시대 초기인 1602년 바닷가에 세워진 성이다. 바닷물을 끌어들여 채운 해자와 높은 돌담이 인상적이었다. 이마바리 성의 입구에도 벚꽃이 피어 있었다. 벚꽃 길 끝에 외적을 침입을 막기 위한 돌담과 정문이 있다. 바닷가의 모래 지반 위에 이런 성을 건축한 기술이 놀라웠다. 성 내부로 들어가 보았다. 에도 시대의 갑옷과 투구들이 전시돼 있었다. 당시의 군화다. 옷을 비롯한 유품들이 층별로 전시돼 있었다. 이마바리 성의 옛 지도다. 당시에는 일급비밀이었다고 한다. 가장 높은 곳인 천수각에서 바라 본 풍경이다. 바닷물이 오가는 통로가 보인다. 바닷물을 끌어올려 만든 일본 3대 바다성이라고 한다.

12x Holland, Japan

oktober 2001, Hirado, Japan
Invited by the local government, I lived in Hirado, a small town in the south east of Japan, for two months. I studied traditional music and culture, performed concerts with my viola, and gave workshops for schoolchildren and amateur musicians. The central idea I wanted to communicate, was how easy it is to compose when you listen well and feel free to express yourself. Often expression gets distracted by technical demands. By leaving out the usual complexity of notation and fixed melodic content, we could focus on the core of real-time creation of new music, which was an immediate realisation of our personal ideas. We improvised a lot, worked on musical communication and I developed new notation methods.
The final project was the performance of an interactive 45 minute composition, created and played by about 100 musicians during the Hirado Culture Festival. Composing and conducting merged into the real-time creation of a symphony. By giving visual cues and playing musical material for them to imitate, I directed the various sections and then I played solo viola over the top.
