Toru TAKEMITSU 20th anniversary

 I'm going to go to the concert of Toru TAKEMITSU 20th anniversary of death.  20 years have passed since he died.  I feel sad every time I noticed that he cannot give us new music any more.  Opera city is also called TAKEMITSU memorial.  There are the relief of Toru TAKEMITU in its foyer. The poem in the relief is;

できれば、鯨のような優雅で頑健な肉体を持ち、西も東もない海を泳ぎたい。

I'm too frightened to translate the so-called poetry but tried.  "If possible, I want to swim with the elegant and sturdy body like a whale in the sea which belongs to neither the west nor the east."
