Today I had an interview in the morning with a state-run broadcast in Italy. I asked Anna for interpretation and the interview ended up with a good one smoothly.

We had a visitor from Belgium in the afternoon and he brought a great plan for us. According to him, the previous Queen in Belgium started organizing an event to support homeopathy lately and having an interest in things related to Hado. Now it is Belgium, following Italy.

Following my lecture, Mr. Schindler gave a lecture on the second day.　His lecture about bio-energy makes supplemental remarks on my Hado theory in a sense of electro science.

Everything finished smoothly and we had a completion ceremony. Another new our folks have flied away.

 

 

 

 

 

At the end, Rasmus asked Lisbeth to give a greeting speech as his appreciation to her since she did all work on the back stage for this workshop. I could see his eyes watery.

We took a commemorative photo. Thank you all for your hard work.

When I was relaxing after everything finished, Mr. Nicklaus who organized a seminar in Uruguay about five years ago visited me and we enjoyed our conversation after a long time. It is sheer bliss to see an old friend in good health.

We will have a two-day work shop for about ten people at our research institute in Liechtenstein. The institute is located in such a wonderful environment.

You can see pastured cattle at the next yard.

The institute is on the second and third floor in the building on the right front side in the below picture.

The picture is the inside of the building. Photo studio is behind the screen.

Ten people attended this workshop. Three of them are from Belgium, one from Iran, one from Italy, one from China, one from Switzerland, two from Estonia, one from Germany. It was a very international group.

The first day started with my four-hour lecture.

Rasmus from this institute was the next.　We actually experienced observation of water crystal by entering the refrigerator.

In the evening we went to an observation restaurant on the mountain twenty minutes away from the institute for a fellowship banquet.

As you see in the picture below, we had to take a gondola to get to that restaurant. We came up pretty high since it took us about twelve minutes.

There is the Rhine River in the center of the picture.

At the restaurant.　Unfortunately, we could not enjoy the view as it started foggy.

The couple on my left side is Mr. and Mrs. Benedetti. I have owed them a lot since I started a seminar in Europe ever since 2000. They organized a seminar and distributed my book. They came to this gathering to join us. It is very grateful.

Mr Hans Schindler, a lecturer for tomorrow, and his wife also joined us. The woman next to Rasmus is his wife, Lisbeth.

My son, Hiromasa enjoyed the reunion with Mr. Benedetti from Italy, who organized a tour in Italy for the first time in five years since they met each other when we went to Italy five years ago.

The woman below is Anna from Italy. She writes and reads Japanese very well. It seems that she would be a great help as my secretary in Italy.

By the time the fellowship banquet was over, it was pretty cold outside. Hiromasa and Rasmus’ wife, Lisbeth look cold...

Thank you very much, Burgi. She stage-managed very well for the seminar in Linz.
Today we have to say good-bye to her and move to Liechtenstein.

At the Linz airport I met a person, the owner of the large scale biotope facility outside of Linz, and his family kindly to see me off. To my surprise, he had a bilingual version of “Message from Water” and said he had been supporting me since 2001. I felt very grateful.

Whenever I come to Liechtenstein, I always stay in Friedrich, Austria near the border between countries. I would like to introduce you this town.

I had a seminar in Linz organized by Ms. Burgi this evening. Two interviews were planned out at my hotel.
The person in the below picture is from a radio station in North Germany and he traveled ten hours to come here.

As you see in the picture below, 1000 people came to this seminar. Ms. Burgi could do this just as I expected.

Ms. Burgi greeted as an organizer.

I usually introduce and ask Rasmus, Austrian, to give a speech in German-speaking sphere.

It was very hot and the air conditioning was not enough. Besides on that, there was fervor of audiences. I spoke enthusiastically sweating a lot.

During this thirty-minute break, everyone came to Rasmus to ask him questions. It is always like this whenever I give a seminar in the German-speaking sphere.

Although it was very hot day, everyone listened to my seminar till the end and gave a standing ovation when it finished.

I always ask Monica to interpret in the German-speaking sphere. She learned and taught at Kyushu University in Japan. We greeted hand in hand receiving applause by listeners.

Then there was an autograph session on the stage. I wonder it took about one hour.

And we had a “job well done” party as usual. It was already past eleven when we started.

Linz is about two hours away from Vienna by car. We left our hotel in Vienna around ten o’clock for BAD ZELL resort where we would stay next.
This resort place is just like Japanese mineral spa recreation facility. Its component of water is radon that works for neuralgia and rheumatism.

At the fountain, the thank-you ceremony for the spring was held with about sixty participants.

People in the town were already waiting for me at a little space near the spring. Three musicians were also there to play a devout religious music along with a prayer led by a local priest.

Then I gave a short speech and a Qs and As session at a garden of a house like a meeting place.

After that people asked me to take a photo with me and I look happy in the below picture. I took a photo more than ten groups.

At the end I had delicious Weizen beer as my reward.

I was surprised since they prepared a beer made from hemp not only that beer. It seemed like that they read my books and knew that I was a supporter of hemp.

The woman on my right side who is drinking the same beer with me is a Diet member in Austria.

Again I had an interview for a documentary film at their studio this morning. It was organized by a spiritual group and because of that there were about ten staffs there. I am looking forward to their completed film.

As you see in the below picture, they prepared an art work regarding water behind me.

Since yesterday the interpreter is a woman who has been in Austria for thirty years and is a musician.

In the afternoon we were headed for the venue for the seminar and drove away from the urban area of Vienna rapidly. Then we came far from town and found more fields instead. I found out that the seminar would be held in the next town about one and half hours away from town, although I thought it was “Vienna” seminar. When I started wondering if we could have enough people in such a back-country, Rusmos who was driving a car pointed ahead saying “Look, there is a sign board over there”. As he said, there was a big sign board right in the middle of the field!?

I was very surprised and asked him to stop there to take a photo. It was exactly the huge sign board of my seminar tonight.

After we drove further, we saw another huge sign board at a bus stop. We recognized three sign boards at other bus stops.

Thanks to this advertising, more than 600 people came to my seminar at a gym in this town, where the venue for this seminar just you see in the below picture.

I felt happy very much and gave a Karaoke time singing my favorite Edelweiss enthusiastically.

He is Tom, who is a friend of Burgi and runs a business of health food in this town..

After signing many autographs, it was past ten thirty when we finished everything and we had a “job well done” party. Tom, thank you very much.

I flew to Vienna from Narita with Austrian airline yesterday. During this tour, till 13 June, I will travel with my son, Hiromasa, around Vienna, Linz, Lichtenstein, north Italia, San Sebastian) Spain, and Atlanta.

Today I had an interview with a state-run broadcasting program at a hotel. I have been to Austria many times before and the interviewer had studied about my work very well so the questions were quite polished. I was able to answer to those questions with delight.

The city of Vienna was beautiful as always and flowers were everywhere.

At that night, we all went to a beer garden located at a famous amusement park in Vienna for dinner.

Below is a distinctive Ferris wheel.

This is this beer garden’s prized draft beer.

Below picture shows my son, Hiromasa, and Ms. Burgi, who has organized my seminar in Austria for many times. She filled up venues with full of people in Vienna, Salzburg, Graz and etc.

We will travel with Rasmus from Liechtenstein up to north Italy.

People who had been at the next table happily talked to us and we toasted many times. He was there with his colleagues from Vienna postal office.

The second glass！

He started giving me a hard time but I did not understand what he was saying.

I knew I would win!

 A woman in the picture below is Ms. Saya Takagi, an actress. Mr. Yasunao Nakayama who wrote”Makoto no hanashi (A story of Hemp)” brought her to our office

.

Ms. Takagi’s record of skin diving is 53 meters and she has a natural agricultural farm in Shirahama, Chiba prefecture. She is really into organic life.
I always interpret the meaning of Chinese character for “performance” as “a person who extends natural heart”. So I think she is a real artist. She is brave enough to make an announcement that she is supporting loincloth recently.（Please refer http://umoja-lani.sblo.jp/archives/200803-1.html）
I am sure we will have a good relationship from now on.

The second person from the right is Mr. Nakayama who wrote about hemp and Mr. Yamaki is from peace boat on his right side.　Like attracts like. They are all nature lovers.
I have known Mr. Nakayama since 1999. When our monthly magazine, “HADO” was newly published in April, 1999 and the special topic was “hemp”. We started boosting exchanges since then. We even organized an association group once.
Ms. Ikue (Ms. Takagi’s real name) would become a goddess of hemp, who brought him back to us in the event, since I was just thinking that I would like to support the activity for restoration of hemp in full swing.
