To the Persons who ring the bell with volition-wave
Passing through the forests and mountain ranges,
crossing over the sea and the countries
by surfing the wave of CETANA (goodwill).
They are ……. “the people and the government of Japan.”
Co-operate together with same wishes, as well as willingness.
They share our land
A grand school building as hard ware.
At here, we add the well trained teachers’ abilities as soft skill,
for the children to wear the fully blooming education flowers,
the sound of ringing bell given by “Palikari”
spreading out all the time in the sky.
To let all the donors,
“the people and the government of Japan” know and hear.
