This original piece by Kamiya Mihoko was the opening song at the performance held at the First Conference Hall of the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. At the beginning, her powerful vocals resonate unaccompanied, and in the middle, it is dramatically composed, incorporating a magical phrase from ancient Japan: "Open your left eye to the sun...open your right eye to the moon..." The entire piece is permeated with Kamiya's philosophy, which could be described as her faith in the sword, and is filled with a message that will move the hearts of those who hear her singing.
From the age of three, she inherited the singing and dancing as a art of Shinto ritual from her grandmother, who ran a family teahouse next to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kami-shichiken, Kyoto. sHe entered a music university to search the traditional flute played by Ushiwaka-maru, a character who always encouraged her as a small child. It was there that she encountered the art of the "Tsurugi" (Japanese sword). After experiencing a revelation through the tsurugi, she founded Japan's first "Tsurugi school", O-Getsu Ryu Mitsurugi-Do, on July 7, 1995. As the head (The founder) of the school, she has performed at the UNESCO Paris Headquarters First Conference Hall, the MLB Opening Day, and toured three European countries (the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany) for 30 years. While studying at Kokugakuin University's Faculty of Shinto Studies, also she has obtained a qualification as a Shinto priest (seikai).
