🌞🌙 'Make Life a Festival': A Movement Starting from the Experience of Celebrating One's Own Life
'I still want to live.'
The moment those words welled up from the bottom of my heart,
my life came to a standstill.
But that was the beginning of a journey toward a life that celebrates existence.
🔥 My Origin — A Life at a Standstill
The day I suffered a cerebral infarction
due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
Feeling the danger to my life,
I thought from the bottom of my heart:
'I don't want to die yet.'
Until then, my life had been one of
endurance and hesitation.
But my life taught me something.
What it truly means to live.
🌏 Philosophy — Make Life a Festival
Life is not a competition. It is a festival.
People are drawn more to 'how you live'
than to 'what you have done.'
That is why I want to be someone who lives life like a festival.
I envision a future where 'Make Life a Festival'
becomes a global watchword.
🔥 Symbolic Event — Nichigetsu Meikyo Festival
Gathering around a bonfire, dancing,
and celebrating life through music and storytelling.
Retreats, nature walks, workshops, and rituals of pre-celebration and gratitude.
Sacred sites include places where the soul trembles, such as Ibaraki, Kumano, Yakushima, and Okinawa.
A space to experience through the five senses,
where participants can ignite their own festivals.
