 March 31, Monday:
 Meeting with the woman who visited me six years ago

Today I went to the college at ten in the morning to have a meeting with senior staffs. We discussed on the issue of water in Saudi.
I showed them the slides that were not introduced yesterday and we talked into this issue positively.
After this meeting, one woman came to see me. I remembered who she was immediately after I saw her face. It was the woman who came to see me in Hamburg six years ago.
“I see…that is you. Long time no see. How have you been? “I was overwhelmed by a flood of emotions and wanted to hug her but I am not allowed to do so in this country.

I heard about what happened after our first meeting from her and found out how this seminar was realized. Since she refused to publish her name or be photographed, I cannot tell you details. But I could only say that she and the principle, Ms. Sehar are acquainted each other and this led to this seminar as the result. In other words, she fulfilled her promise six years ago.

After the seminar, we took a commemorative picture on the request of attendees.

There were many women in the costume like below picture. It was very mystical.

In the afternoon we had a meeting with professors of a university hospital in Jeddah.

They suggested me that we should do together if there is something we could co research. I was very happy with their suggestion.

My productive stay in Saudi Arabia quickly finished. The fountain in the Red Sea seems to be sending us yells with the blue energy. Yes, the development of freshwater would be the important theme in this country.

Farewell dinner was held at a restaurant near by a port. The president of the publish company that published the Message from Water Vol. 3 in Arabic version also came to this party.

The basic agreement with the college was signed. It was about production and distribution of EMOTO Project.

Handshaking

On our way back some women showed up out of nowhere and took a picture together.

Soon the number of women became bigger. They seemed to be my fan. I wonder where they came from. It looks like Saudi Arabia is changing a little by little.

 March 30, Sunday:
 Seminar at women’s college in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

I asked Rasmos to accompany with me from Lichtenstein since I thought I would need someone who has a good constitution and speaks fluent English when going to a country that I have never been to.
A man who is next to Rasmos is Mr. Abdro, interpreter for this seminar. He has been in Japan for more than ten years and he looks like Japanese who loves perpetrating a pun in Japanese. I never felt strangeness with him.

His English is also fluent and it seemed that he and Rasmos went along well. They discussed long into the night.

The organizer of this seminar is Ms. Sehar, a principle of a women’s college called DAR AL-HEKMA COLLEGE. She organized a luncheon party for us.

It was my first time to have Arabic cuisine. Surprising fact is that there are more vegetables.

 

 

A woman in the middle between us is the principle, Ms. Sehar.

Today is my wife’s birthday and I told her about that when I made a greeting speech. Then she immediately prepared a birthday cake for my wife. I was very grateful.

Now we arrived at the college where the seminar will be held.

An interpreter for this seminar was waiting for us. Two people will interpret for this seminar.

With Ms. Sehar inside of the college

We are having a final preliminary discussion with interpreters in the waiting room. We decided to have interpretation collaterally, Japanese-Arabic and Japanese-English.

The waiting room was also for VIP room and there were some members of royalty.

This man is one of the founders of this college. He was keenly reading the EMOTO Project book

Seminar started.

As you see the first floor was full occupied with men. They are not allowed to be seated with women.

This hall has second and third floor and those floors are packed with women. Some people could not enter the hall and the monitor TV was set in the next room as a temporal venue. This room was also packed. 400 of men and 800 of women came to this seminar in total. Nevertheless of this many of women, they wore all black costume showing only their eyes. This is why they are not appeared in the picture.

The seminar seemed to be very popular and after the seminar finished, I received many memorable commemorative products.

 March 29, Saturday:
 First Saudi Arabia

It was seven-hour flight from snowy Toronto, Canada by Air Canada to Frankfurt. Then after five-hour transit, it was five-hour flight to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia by Lufthansa. It was a great deal of distance of flight. Plus I traveled from a country to another country where there was a temperature difference as you see. It was really tough although I had understood about that before this trip.

I came to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia this time because I had been invited by a local women’s college student. But there was something that called to my mind.
Actually, it was six years ago, 2002 when I stayed in Hamburg, Germany for a seminar. One woman visited me all the way from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia at that time. She accompanied with her other three family members since Arabic women are not allowed to travel alone.
She is a principle of an elementary school in Jeddah. She was moved when she read my book “Message from Water” and came to see me to tell me that she had a same experiment of cooked rice in her classroom and had the same result as the book said. She only wanted to tell me that she would like me to come to Jeddah someday.
I happily accepted her invitation since I was truly moved. However, I never heard any specific calling from her no matter how much I had waited and I forgot about that in time.
I received an invitation from a local women college this time. Also the proper noun appeared from them was different name from the woman that I met in Hamburg six years ago. I took a flight to Jeddah wondering what this could have happened.

My wife started reading a travel guide book about Middle Eastern countries in the airplane and telling me many things. “Wow…this country sounds like difficult for many reasons. You cannot drink alcohol, hon. Women are not allowed to walk alone or to wear clothe that show their skin. Immigration examination is also strict and they check every single item that you have. My goodness…It seems that we came to some country”
She became almost panicked since she saw dos and don’ts that could be read as you have to compensate with your life if you lie in the document that you submit to the immigration office.

Unlike I expected the airplane did not park a usual tarmac but somewhere far away from the terminal. It looked like everyone had to take a bus. When I started feeling anxious thinking like “boy… how long would it take to enter this country…?”, two men? in white Arabic clothes who were waiting at the bottom of the steps asked me if I was Dr. Emoto and said “please come this way” and put us in a luxury car. They took us to the special waiting room driving through a huge airport. The rest of procedure was taken care of by people from the college and we could enter Jeddah without any problems.

The hotel that the organizer prepared for us was a five-star hotel and provided us a suit room. Everything is difficult before it is easy. It looks like our staying in Saudi Arabia for three days would be comfortable.

Moreover, the carpet in the room was crystal patterns as you see in the picture below It looks like the one from “happiness” word.

 

The water crystal of "Happiness"

 March 28, Friday:
 Toronto in snow

As you see in the below picture, it was entirely snowy landscape when I woke up. Today I will take a day-long trip to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia via Frankfurt. I was surprised to hear that the local temperature was 35℃. It must be tough for me. Oh well... I will be fine anyway...

 March 27, Thursday:
 Seminar in Toronto, Canada

We took a direct flight that made our journey easier than I thought, although it took us at least 12 hours from Narita to Toronto.

This seminar in Toronto was scheduled as the final program in a training seminar for people who are in the Union or human resources.

Although I prepared the program that I usually use, they were very happy since I also used human relationship or effect theory in a company in my explanation or illustration.

That is why I was very grateful when I received the standing ovation, which I did not expect. I reconfirmed that any type of industry would understand about water.

The organizer, Ms. Vera. She was the person who has leadership

And it started snowing that night.

It was just yesterday when we took a picture under the cherry tree...

 March 26, Wednesday:
 Trip to Canada, Saudi, Spain and Russia

Again our world tour began starting from 26 March through 22 April. However, there was one problem. My wife extremely loves cherry blossoms and she actually wanted to stay in Japan during the peak season. She was very upset since she could not stay in Japan to see cherry blossoms this year.

Then I decided to take her to a park that is famous for cherry blossoms near our house on our way to the Narita airport to spend some time to say good-bye to flowers. As you see in the picture, flowers were blooming only about 30%.

 March 19, Wednesday:
 Mini-seminar at Japanese women association in Korea

Mr. Masayuki Mizuno who is my secretary in Korea has been living in Korea for about ten years. He is married to a Korean woman and has four children. He speaks fluent Korean and I cannot work in Korea without his help.
Today I gave a speech for Japanese women group in Korea, who are Mr. Mizuno’s friends. Since it was set up suddenly, we got together at a house of the caretaker of the group.

 

Everyone was eagerly looking into a small computer’s screen as we did not have a projector.

In thanks for my speech, they bought their home-made cooking and cooked Korean foods for me. It was really delicious!!

Mr. Masayuki Mizuno is next to me in the below picture. He is from Hokkaido, Japan and an organizer of this group. As you see in the picture below, everyone looks happy. Of course their husbands are Korean and they have children who have two different blood lines, Korean and Japanese. I think that some of those children would become person who has important roles in many fields between two countries.

 March 18, Tuesday:
 Visit Dr. Lee at Samsung Hospital

I had another purpose for this visit to Korea. Today I visited Dr. Lee, ob-gyn at Samsung Hospital. Dr. Lee has been researching on amnion liquid and sent me a letter saying that he would like to co-research with me.
In his laboratory, many amniotic fluids were stored. I am holding some of them in my hand in the below picture.
I truly appreciated his offer since it has been difficult for me to get a sample of amnion liquid, although I had always liked to see many different type of crystal information of amnion liquid.

With staffs in the lab

I brought the crystal photographs of amnion liquid that Mr. Rasmus in Liechtenstein took and explained to Dr. Lee. As a result, he decided to visit my lab with amnion liquid for about three days on April 1st.
We will have an experiment on amnion liquid that is diluted to a certain degree and will expose it to a good music or words. I am sure this would be helpful for antenatal training for expected mothers all over the world. I am looking forward to seeing the result.

 March 17, Monday:
 Business trip to Seoul

I was busy with in-house meeting and visitors for three days after two weeks tour in Latin America. Before my seat gets warm, I came to Seoul for three days from now because the publish company that will publish revised edition of Korean version of “Hidden Message in Water” (Sanmark) with new look invited me to Seoul.

When I heard of this news several months ago, I was very surprised because this book was published by a different company in Korea five years ago and it became a hit selling over two hundred thousands of copies. Then another publish company, Tenan, bought the copyright and it lead to this revised edition with new look. This is very rare case even in Japan.

With the president of Tenan publish company. He is a big fan of this book and realized this publishing since he has always wanted to publish a book like this.

I gave a small seminar for his staff.

The company arranged many interviews for me in advance.

 
 

In the evening, I went to a modern dance drama studio, where they made a script with a hint from my book. It was too modern for me to understand but seems to be in the news in Korea.?

There were two college students there to interview with me for their research paper on crystal photograph.

 March 11, Tuesday:
 Homecoming and some thoughts on the tour in Latin America

I left Ecuador in the afternoon of March 9th and arrived in Los Angeles via Bogota in Columbia. After this ten-hour flight, I stayed in Los Angeles over night. Then I flied for another eleven hours to get to Narita in Japan. It was evening of 11th local time.
Although this long trip made me tired, I am feeling ease as I could finish this full-fledged tour for the first time since my hospitalization in last fall.
Also I could learn a lot from this tour in Latin America and it cheered up my spirit. Above all, I had more than thirty interviews in this tour and felt people in this area have more interests in water than it used to be. There was another big harvest. In all four countries that I visited, some people offered me specific cooperation for EMOTO project.
Also, another visit to this area in this November or December was planned out this time. Next time I will visit Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, and Brazil besides these four countries.
Yes, it is physically hard for me. But this tour made me realize that I have strong willingness and mission of visiting many countries as long as I can walk.?
I sincerely appreciate all people who supported this tour. Thank you very much.

 March 9, Sunday:
 Quito town, a designated World Heritage site

Quito is located in the hilly zone, where is higher than 2500 meters above sea level. Its beautiful face of the street is designated a World Heritage site. I looked around this town today

 
 
 
 

I was not allowed to take a picture inside of this church. The inside was entirely decorated with scintillating gold. When I visited this country, Ecuador, before, I heard about the origin of the country name-Aqua (water) Gold. I thought this building just proved that story. Incidentally, Japan is also said to be a country of gold and water. I guess these two countries have some common things resonating.
“Where there is good gold is where there is good water”- this is a proverb that I learned from the elder of Aborigine when I went to Australia before.

 March 8, Saturday:
 Water ceremony at Yaku Museum in Quito

I was invited to a water museum, where an exhibition of crystal photographs was held, that used to be a filtrate plant in Quito until 1917 and was redesigned as a museum. As you see in the below picture, loads of people welcomed me.

 

First of all, we conducted a ceremony offering Love and Gratitude for water.

The scene of the ceremony

They decorated the wall of the access aisle with the design of crystal.

There were about sixty photographs at the exhibition hall.

Mr. Takeuchi from the Japanese embassy in Ecuador also came to this seminar.

Believe it or not, they were experimenting on the cooked rice at the venue. This is “Thank you” section.

And this is “You fool” section. The top of the rice is becoming bad.

What made me surprised was the section where visitors wrote a message and put it on the wall.

Soon after I found this, I also wrote a message.

Don’t I look serious when praying?!

It was for photographers.

Two interviews were waiting for me there as well.

 March 7, Friday:
 Seminar in Quito, Ecuador

I moved to Ecuador from Chile. I came to this country in 2002. It has been six years since then. I started with many interviews in this tour.

 
 

Interview is very important for me. I have never refused interview no matter how tired I was. That is because I understand that spreading the important message from water is my mission.

Actually, I woke up at 4:30 a.m. this morning. I took a flight at seven thirty and arrived Quito in Ecuador at 1:30 p.m. via Lima in Peru. I was exhausted from this flight, for six hours. However, four interviews and a seminar at seven were waiting for me, which was really tight schedule. I had them all just as planned out.

My seminar started at seven p.m. On my right hand side, the interpreter for the seminar, Kana and on my left hand side, the interpreter for interview, Sachi Neagari. Kana came to Ecuador ten years ago as a member of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers. Then she married to a local man who is a veterinarian.

Seminar

The second person from the right is the organizer, Mr. Flavio Aguirre? and his mother on the left. Again people here organized this seminar with their family.

 March 6, Thursday:
 Chilean wine, old castle and holy fountain

Today I visit a winery as Teresita organized for me. As you already know, Chile is famous for wine production. My wife and I have been looking forward to this day for a long time since we both love wine.

Chile is stretched out toward north and south. We drove for about two hours to the south from the capital Santiago.

Soon I saw a vineyard.

We entered into the land of our destination. It looks like sheep and duck are enjoying their life.

 

Suddenly an old castle appeared in front of us. I felt like I was in the world of a fairly tale.

The castle was not that big but it looked very old. Maybe 500 hundreds years old…

Inside of the castle

The owner of this castle, Alejandro. He offered us wine.

There were other people waiting for us and we had a toast.

By the way, the wine was home-made wine but they make only for their family and never sell. Their wine was extremely delicious. I brought two bottles of wine to Japan for souvenir.

After I enjoyed two or three glasses of wine, we walked around the forest in their land. I don’t know how to describe it but it was very mystical.

   

When we went all the way, we found a holy fountain. The owner is planning to build a tower here and would like to invite me to its completion ceremony. I would love to come here again.

Commemorative photo with all

In the middle of the forest, they set up a table for luncheon and we enjoyed delicious meals and wine. Although it was still noon, many orb appeared in the picture. I think nymphs in the forest also welcomed us.

They even invited a harp player and chefs. I have never experienced such an extravagant luncheon party in my life.

They prepared my favorite foods (I have a difficult preference, no cheese, butter, creamy sauce, and meat...)

I had definitely pleasant time. Thank you all!

This cute girl is an oldest daughter of the owner and goes to a culinary school now.

This girl is her younger sister. Both are really cute.

Time flied. Three hours later, we had to say good-bye. I promised them that I would come back here again for sure. Good-bye for now.

 March 5, Wednesday:
 Seminar in Santiago

This is the theater where I had my seminar in this town. I saw a huge signboard and it made me inspired even more no matter what.

She is Kiyomi, the interpreter for this seminar and was the second generation of Japanese Argentina. I was a bit worried about her Japanese level but she did very well after all.

The lobby before the seminar

 

The family who organized this seminar runs family business such as a school of flower essence, development of such essence, planning and organizing many types of events. They decorated the stage for this seminar and it was wonderfully well done as you see in the picture below.

The audience that filled up all the way to the second floor never stopped standing ovation and their applause. It was definitely successful seminar.

 March 4, Tuesday:
 Trip to Santiago in Chile

We traveled through Panama to go to Santiago in Chile from El Salvador. I came to this country for the first time too. The organizer, Ms. Teresita’s husband and her son came to the airport to pick us up.

Again, there was a press conference at the hotel when we arrived.

The woman who is sitting on my left side is the organizer, Ms. Teresita. The interpreter, Ms. Leticia Imamura is sitting on my right side.

After this press conference, I had an interview from a magazine company.

We went to a Japanese restaurant with a couple of the organizer that night. It was their first time to have Japanese food. It looked hard for them to use chopsticks and they were eating Sashimi and sushi gingerly. They looked like they were enjoying their dinner.

The city Santiago was a quiet place and looked pretty wealthy neighborhood.

 March 2, Sunday:
 Seminar in El Salvador

As you see in the picture below, many people came to my first seminar in El Salvador. Although the seminar started at eleven, they came before it started.

 

I took this picture with local people who played the ceremony for water before the seminar.

Ceremony for water

There were about 800 attendees. They said it was very rare for El Salvador, which has only six million population in a small land as Shikoku.

When my seminar finished with great popularity, the chief of the Public Prosecutors’ Office gave a short speech and I gave him my favorite crystal photograph.

The Japanese ambassador to El Salvador also came and I was very touched. It is very delightful that people from Japanese Embassy in each country come to my seminar these days.

The organizer of this seminar was Edna, Hado instructor, who had been a government official relating to the Ministry of Works and pretty successful person.
I am very touched when I see such people who attended Hado instructor school and work in enlightenment activity for water crystal or hado. She put a bumper sticker of crystal on her own car. ?

On our way back to the airport next day, we stopped by an office of wonderful gentleman. She said he was a candidate of the next presidential election and had a personal magnetism. I also felt his hado immediately.

 March 1, Saturday:
 Trip to El Salvador

Next day I took a flight around noon to go to El Salvador. It was my first time to visit there. As you see in the picture below, a big limousine was waiting for us at the airport.

We had a pleasant chat in the car with a roomy interior. Ms. Edona, on my left hand side, is the organizer and a Hado instructor. Mr. Kato, on my right hand side, is an interpreter, who lives in El Salvador and works for the Japanese embassy. He used to teach Jyudo and be a coach of the Jyudo team for the Athen Olympic in El Salvador.

Soon after we arrived the hotel, we had a press conference.

I showed the crystal photograph from water that has been shown the word "El Salvador (meaning "savior")". I took this photograph in Japan and brought it for today.

The relevant people and fans threw a welcome party on that night for me. I had a splendid night.
