On November 24, 2025, a 35th anniversary commemorative ceremony was held at Century Miki Golf Club in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. The painting on the theme of “En no Gyōja and Kūkai,” commissioned by President Tatematsu for this celebratory gathering, has been completed.

Today, we had a priest perform a prayer ceremony for two new Buddhist paintings.

Beside the 6th hole of the golf course, a waterfall where En no Gyōja practiced asceticism around 1,400 years ago still exists today. Kūkai visited this waterfall about 100 years later.

This golf course utilizes the natural landscape of the Miki area without using any pesticides, preserving the scenery as naturally as possible. A path accessible to the public has even been created alongside the 6th hole for visitors to pay their respects.

I sense President Tatematsu’s deep faith and her sincere attitude toward invisible energy.

On this day, we had Mr. Miyamoto, the cameraman, film for a documentary, leaving behind an invaluable record.

In the afternoon, a splendid celebration was held for invited guests, featuring musical performances.

During the bouquet presentation, Shiozawa received a large bouquet and gave a speech to express his gratitude.

I extend my deepest gratitude to Ms. Tatematsu for creating this wonderful opportunity and to Ms. Minami for connecting her with Ms. Shiozawa.
