PAGE"Depart with a
brave heart, if you are to leave the islands.
Live
with a firm belief, if you are to remain."
"Words of Wisdom" in
Japanese hand writing
Our ancestors were Kutsuna
Suigun, the guardians on the Inland
Sea. They don't exist anymore, but still live in our hearts and the
words. The words were found in Hachiman shrine near our
house. I was
deeply moved with the words.
