Sometimes I am a little sad because I think others don‘t understand my feelings. In Japan especially it is valued to understand others‘ feelings without talking. Even Japanese however cannot have empathy all the time, which hurts me. On the other hand, am I truly empathic towards others? When I think about it, there are many points that should make me contemplative. Before being sad because of others, I want to endeavour to understand others‘ feelings. And I am grateful for others directing my attention toward this.
Since my childhood I wanted to become a musician of classical European music. Back then it was still the era of radio and records. I listened a lot, recorded to tape and listened again. Also I tried to attend as many live performances as possible. Luckily I always received my parents‘ support which eventually enabled me to come to Europe to study. I graduated from „Opernschule“ and „Operettenlehrgang“ at Konservatorium Wien (now called MUK). I am so happy to have come to Vienna, not only because of this university but also everything I came in contact with provided an opportunity to learn. I really feel that music is not only „music“ but rather a combination of many elements. The music is inseparable from the culture , environment, etc. it emerged out of. Also Vienna‘s attractive side, which is called city of music, is that so much international culture can be experienced here. This way I could study well here, for which I am truly grateful. For about ten years now I have been studying with Signora Fiorenza Cossotto in Italy, which is a fortune also bestowed upon me by Vienna. From Vienna I visit her and every time I am fascinated by her deep knowledge and personality. I am so glad and thankful.
My husband and I went to Italy again, because our voice teacher lives in Piemonte (Northern Italy). This time we again learned a lot and are quite satisfied. Piemonte has a different climate than Vienna, where we live. Nature, cities, people… we see many differences which is very interesting. Every time we think it is good to come here.
Soon it will be Valentine‘s day. She dreams about receiving such a rose from her loved one, glowing red with passion. . もうすぐヴァレンタインの日。彼女は愛する人から薔薇の花を贈られることを夢みています。情熱で燃えるように紅い・・
Again a new year has begun. At the beginning 2025 I did some thinking and then it became clear to me that at every start of a new year I was the same.
Actually it is difficult for me to understand, but one thing is clear that from within I feel the urge to put something into form. This urge has always accompanied me and as long back as I can remember and maybe until my last day it will be like this.
For many many years I have occupied myself with European music, which fulfilled this urge to a large degree and always has been a source of joy. Such kind of “traditional art” one cannot play according to one’s own liking, it has many rules and a long and rich history based on life, climate, language, religion, etc. Since I appreciate and respect that fact, I came to Vienna in order to engage in deeper studies. I am quite satisfied that I have continuously deepened and broadened my studies. For that reason I feel confidence to pass on my knowledge and experience to others.
Another way of making dolls I have neither a teacher nor have I studied that craft. Through music on the other hand I would like to freely express myself.
