We recently held a Shinkiko retreat seminar in Miyazaki, and I would like to share an incident from the event that gave me a significant realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In late last month, while producing A5-sized HG White Sheets, I made a blunder: I accidentally engraved the SAS triple mark and the pyramid mark\u2014which were supposed to be engraved separately on the front and back\u2014right on top of each other. The marks overlapped to the point where neither could be distinguished visually; however, thinking I might still be able to put them to some use, I engraved the same pattern on the reverse side as well and sent the sheets to the Kumamoto Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, people who received the Ki<\/em> energy through this remarked that it seemed to reach a deeper level than usual; although I did not fully grasp it myself at the time, five individuals purchased it by the end of last month, insisting, “I absolutely must have this.” Furthermore, four of them attended our retreat seminar in Miyazaki and received the Ki<\/em> again; they reported that the energy permeated deeply just as before, creating a sensation where negative thoughts were instantly purified. This led to the realization that this fused symbol might make it easier for the Ki<\/em> energy to reach people involved in religious circles\u2014particularly those who are unable to change due to fixed, preconceived notions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially, I held the assumption that designs lacking clear, distinct markings were somehow inferior. However, I came to realize that this was not the case and that I should not be bound by such preconceived notions. Another realization struck me regarding the importance of convergence\u2014much like how individual symbols merge into one, everything in the world is moving toward a state of unity. While forms of faith vary by country, region, and era\u2014sometimes even leading to conflict\u2014I believe that the spirit of prayer at their core is fundamentally the same. Through the retreat seminar in Miyazaki, I felt that we might be entering an era where, fueled by energy from the cosmos, diverse prayers and faiths shine ever brighter as they transcend boundaries and draw closer together as one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For this reason, we have named this superimposed engraving option “Hybrid.” Although the sale on “White Sheets” concluded at the end of last month, we have extended the sale on additional engravings (46,750 yen per set) through the end of the year, allowing both existing White Sheet owners and new purchasers to upgrade to the Hybrid version. Additionally, for “Hi-Genki” models 3 through 8, we are now offering a “Hybrid” type (196,700 yen per set) as a new option alongside the existing “Power-Up” (SAS triple-mark engraving) and “Upgrade” (pyramid-mark engraving) services; we invite you to consider this option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We recently held a Shinkiko retreat seminar in Miyazaki, and I would like to share an incident from the event that gave me a significant realization.
