Poet Keiko Koma’s expression, to bring peace on earth.
Houeme el Farchichi
I learned about Keiko Koma, a Japanese poet who organized an “Evening of Poetry and Music” at the Jerash Festival in Jordan.
Descended from the Koguryo dynasty, Mrs. Koma inherited the spiritual qualities of her ancestors and is expressing her commitment to world peace in a concert titled “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered”.
For this purpose, she visited Phoenicia, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan, and expressed her willingness to hold concerts in Tunisia, which is associated with Princess Elissa of Tyre, who is represented in Carthage, and Phoenicia.
The program consisted of music, video and poetry. Mr. Saito’s improvised music expressed the depths of the soul and allowed us to experience love, purity, and beauty.Poetry is the true word that is accompanied by this wonderful music. Music and poetry unite in the dimension of the soul to express truth.
When I met Mrs. Koma, there were many members of NPO Koma, an NGO headed by Mrs. Koma, including Mr. Saito, a musician, the staff in charge of video, and Professor Ghazi, an artist, who are working together to realize peace, tolerance, and love in various spiritual and practical aspects.
In the midst of all this, Mrs. Koma shines with joy in her eyes and her charming, beautiful smile and radiant expression express her conscience, making all those around her happy.
