Legend of the Matsubara Hachiman Shrine – Ito City Japan & the Marine Foundation

The Legend of Matsubara Hachiman Shrine: Birthplace of the Global Samurai Festival and the Marine Foundation’s Legacy

In the coastal embrace of Ito City, nestled atop its highest hill, lies the Matsubara Hachiman Shrine, a place of profound history and enduring legacy. Constructed by a samurai over 800 years ago, this sacred site has watched over the people of Ito for centuries, its torii gates and sacred paths standing as silent witnesses to the passing of time. With a breathtaking 180-degree view of the sea from its summit, the shrine connects the heavens, the earth, and the water in a spiritual harmony that resonates through every stone and tree.

The story of the shrine and its more profound connection to the Marine Foundation began to unfold in 2023. Tomeo Motto, a figure of unyielding integrity and vision, was introduced to the previous High Priest by Priestess Hitomi, a guardian of the shrine’s legacy and a person of exceptional grace and wisdom. Their meeting, however, was shrouded in the bittersweetness of fate. The first High Priest, an elderly and revered figure, was to pass away just three days later before the annual festival was to take place. This encounter would be both an honor and a turning point for Tomeo.

In their brief yet profound meeting, the High Priest imparted his wisdom, the essence of the shrine’s spiritual heart, to Tomeo. He spoke of the samurai who built the shrine so many centuries ago—a warrior of impeccable honor and a protector of the people. This samurai, he explained, had sought not only to protect but to inspire a constant striving for perfection, a pursuit of balance between strength and humility. The High Priest believed this samurai’s spirit still lived within the shrine, guiding all who would honor its legacy.

Moved by this revelation, Tomeo pledged to the High Priest that he would bring the essence of the samurai’s spirit to the world through the Marine Foundation. He vowed to establish the Global Samurai brand, a tribute not only to the samurai of centuries past but also to the shrine itself—a symbol of strength, honor, and the pursuit of a noble cause. This promise would mark the beginning of a new chapter, not only for the shrine but also for the Marine Foundation’s global mission.

The Marine Foundation, known for its unshakable commitment to integrity and excellence, found its reflection in the ethos of the samurai. With its storied history and spiritual gravitas, the shrine became the perfect birthplace for the Global Samurai Festival. This celebration would honor the samurai’s ancient tradition and the modern vision of global unity and peace. The festival, designed as a fusion of cultural reverence and humanitarian values, would not merely be a parade or a gathering but a spiritual journey, aligning the Marine Foundation’s mission with the shrine’s sacred heritage.

The first Global Samurai Festival, held in 2023, became legendary. It was a day of honor, remembrance, and renewal. The festival’s highlight was the grand procession, a mesmerizing sight where thirty dedicated carriers, known as the ‘Global Samurai,’ bore a sacred mikoshi—a portable shrine—through the streets of Ito. From the mountain summit, where the shrine rests, they descended towards the sea, mirroring the journey of life itself: the ascent to spiritual heights, the descent to earthly depths, and the return to sacred origin. The shrine, carried with strength and devotion, symbolized the Marine Foundation’s unwavering resolve to uphold and protect the values of peace, integrity, and perfection—just as the samurai once did.

In a stunning and rare moment, the mikoshi entered the sea during the procession. The waves lapped against the carriers’ legs as they walked with the shrine, a powerful act of devotion and gratitude to the sea deity. Many in the crowd, including the priestess and Tomeo, felt the profound presence of the divine, a moment where the past and present converged in spiritual harmony. It was a scene that reminded everyone of the shrine’s ancient protector, whose spirit seemed to bless this new chapter initiated by the Marine Foundation.

Priestess Hitomi, whose role in safeguarding the shrine’s traditions and spiritual energy cannot be understated, stood by Tomeo’s side, her presence a testament to the continuity of the shrine’s legacy. She, who had once introduced Tomeo to the late High Priest, watched as the Marine Foundation’s vision unfolded, a vision that would expand the shrine’s influence beyond the shores of Japan, connecting people worldwide through the values of the samurai.

Ito City, now immortalized as the legendary birthplace of the Global Samurai Festival, symbolizes the Marine Foundation’s deep-rooted commitment to honor, tradition, and unity. The shrine stands as a beacon, not only of the samurai spirit but also of the foundation’s mission—a mission that seeks perfection, not for its own sake but for the well-being and harmony of the global community.

The story of the Matsubara Hachiman Shrine and the Global Samurai Festival will endure for generations. It is a tale of legacy, where past and present converge, a place where the Marine Foundation’s spirit of integrity aligns with the samurai’s noble heart. And it all begins on that sacred hill, with a view that stretches far beyond the sea—into the hearts of all who strive for a world of peace, honor, and unwavering perfection.

Letter to High Priestess Hitomi From Tomeo Motto

Dear Hitomi, High Priestess of Matsubara Shrine (Birth of the Global Samurai Festival)

I am truly grateful for your presence and beauty in my life. Meeting you, especially after the passing of the high priest last year, was a blessing and a gift. I want to reaffirm my promise to support you in the years to come. Unfortunately, I have been overwhelmed this year with the growth of our Marine Foundation, which is establishing its position on the global stage. The wonderful progress here in Japan and beyond is undoubtedly thanks to your blessings guiding us.

One thing is certain: I will attend the Marine Foundation’s celebration in partnership with the Samurai Shrine in 2025. I have the deepest respect for this shrine. Dear Hitomi, you are truly a wonderful friend and a beautiful person in every sense of the word. Although Ayumi and I could not focus on ITO this year, I am confident that the news we will share with you soon will bring you great joy. We also plan to visit and share our beautiful adventure with you.

Please convey my gratitude to Xavier for his great kindness. I am looking forward to seeing you again soon and celebrating the beautiful Sunday festival with the wonderful brothers as they carry the Mikoshi at the shrine.

Warmest regards,

Tomeo Motto

Response from High Priestess Hitomi

Dear Tomeo,

I am deeply moved by the profound affection you have shown towards our shrine. Thanks to your support, we were able to successfully conclude the grand festival. I am also delighted to hear about the remarkable development of your incomparable foundation on the global stage.

Now, today’s news is about the unexpected “sea procession” that took place. We had been told that the mikoshi would no longer enter the sea, so we watched with deep appreciation, reluctant to close our eyes, and offered our gratitude to the sea deity. I was once again reminded of what it truly means for something to be “divine.” This was all thanks to your deep reverence and spiritual energy directed toward the shrine. I sincerely thank you.

Javier and I are looking forward to your and Ayumi’s visit in the near future. I will convey your message to Javier. Thank you for your wonderful words of celebration.

New Year 2024 Dream Message

by marinef | Jan 1, 2024 | All Blogs, Events, VIP Networks

Heartfelt Resolution That will Make Your Dream Come True in 2024 - PDF here:

A Very Special New Year Resolution

A Heartfelt New Year’s Inspiration to Guide You Towards Realizing Your Real Dreams Forever and Ever.

As we enter the New Year of 2024, let’s contemplate a thought-provoking scenario: If you had just one more day to live, what would occupy your thoughts? Would concerns about finances or the routine of office life dominate? Would the urge to outdo others still persist? A sobering truth is that in wars that defy reason, children, the epitome of innocence, are tragically lost. This harrowing reality brings into sharp focus our gratitude for the additional time we are fortunate to have. So, in this context, what would constitute a meaningful day if it were our last?

If I were to spend one final day on Earth, here is my perspective:

The pressing question is: What if we had only one more day to live? What would be the nature of our thoughts? For me, the initial focus would be on forgiveness. I would seek to find sunshine in every individual I encounter. Next, I would endeavor to realize all my unfulfilled dreams, allowing myself to imagine extraordinary feats, such as experiencing the triumph of scaling Mount Everest if it were on my list of ambitions. As the day transitioned into evening, my mind would be enveloped in thoughts of serenity, savoring the love that blossomed throughout the day, much like the rich hues of autumn. The night would serve as a period of rest, akin to hibernation, before awakening to a new world that awaits us all. This singular day would embody the essence of a thousand years, a testament to the depth and richness of life.

永遠に続く、本当の夢を実現へと導く心からの新年のインスピレーション。

  2024年の新年を迎えるにあたり、考えさせられるシナリオを思い浮かべてみましょう。もし人生最後の一日を迎えたら、あなたの心に何が浮かぶでしょうか？お金の心配や日常のオフィスワークが頭を占めるでしょうか？他人を出し抜く欲求がまだ存在するでしょうか？考えさせられる真実として、理不尽な戦争で無垢な子どもたちが犠牲になっていることがあります。この厳しい現実は、私たちが持っている余分な時間に対する感謝を強く意識させます。では、最後の一日がどのような意味を持つか、という問いを考えてみましょう。

もし私が地球上で最後の一日を過ごすとしたら、私の見解はこうです：

最も切実な問いは、もし私たちに人生最後の一日があったら、どのような考えが心に浮かぶか、ということです。私にとっては、最初に集中するのは赦しです。出会う人々の中で陽の光を見つけることを目指します。次に、果たされなかった夢をすべて実現するために努力し、エベレスト登頂のような非凡な偉業を想像することを自分に許します。日が暮れるにつれ、私の心は平穏な思いに包まれ、一日を通じて咲いた愛を秋の豊かな色合いのように味わいます。夜は休息の時であり、私たち全員が待ち受ける新しい世界への目覚めの前の、冬眠のような時間です。この一日は、千年の本質を体現し、人生の深さと豊かさの証となるでしょう。 

Une inspiration sincère du Nouvel An pour vous guider vers la réalisation de vos véritables rêves, pour toujours et à jamais.

Alors que nous entrons dans la nouvelle année 2024, contemplons un scénario qui fait réfléchir : Si vous n’aviez plus qu’un jour à vivre, quels seraient vos pensées ? Les soucis financiers ou la routine de la vie de bureau domineraient-ils ? L’envie de surpasser les autres persisterait-elle ? Une vérité troublante est que dans les guerres qui défient la raison, des enfants, symboles d’innocence, sont tragiquement perdus. Cette réalité déchirante met en lumière notre gratitude pour le temps supplémentaire dont nous avons la chance de disposer. Alors, dans ce contexte, qu’est-ce qui constituerait une journée significative si c’était notre dernière ?

Si je devais passer un dernier jour sur Terre, voici ma perspective :

La question pressante est : Que se passerait-il si nous n’avions plus qu’un jour à vivre ? Quelle serait la nature de nos pensées ? Pour moi, l’accent initial serait mis sur le pardon. Je chercherais à trouver de la lumière en chaque individu que je rencontre. Ensuite, je m’efforcerais de réaliser tous mes rêves inaccomplis, me permettant d’imaginer des exploits extraordinaires, comme ressentir le triomphe de l’ascension de l’Everest si cela faisait partie de mes ambitions. Au fur et à mesure que la journée se transformerait en soirée, mon esprit serait enveloppé de pensées de sérénité, savourant l’amour qui a fleuri tout au long de la journée, à l’image des riches teintes de l’automne. La nuit serait un temps de repos, semblable à l’hibernation, avant de se réveiller dans un nouveau monde qui nous attend tous. Cette journée unique incarnerait l’essence de mille ans, un témoignage de la profondeur et de la richesse de la vie.”

The Last Event & Final Report of 2023

by marinef | Dec 29, 2023 | All Blogs, Events, VIP Networks

MIRACLE CHRISTMAS IN JAPAN

World Broadcasting Message:
Christmas Gala 2023 – Marine Foundation’s Report for 2023 – The Making of the Year 2024

December 25, 2023

Detailed daily reports
The Marine Foundation’s World Agencies

This week in review:

The Last Event of 2023 – Thankful for all the Donors and Supporters of this Year.

The Marine Foundation received an invitation to a special event on December 25th, celebrating its remarkable achievements over the past decade. This event marked a significant milestone in the Foundation’s journey towards becoming a globally recognized platform by 2024.

Interestingly, my invitation came as a pleasant surprise upon my return to Japan from an international trip, where I was engaged in discussions about the Foundation’s strategic positioning in a specific global region.

The evening’s highlight was the performance by the virtuoso pianist Arie Tomita, a member of a family that significantly supported the Marine Foundation in 2023. Arie and I collaborated on a rendition of Frank Sinatra’s classic, “My Way.” The event was further enlivened by the unexpected appearances of various guest musicians and performers, making it a memorable evening.

The event’s sponsorship was notably under the patronage of an anonymous benefactor, who preferred to maintain discretion during this period. This individual’s wish for privacy added an intriguing element to the occasion, while their generous support played a crucial role in the event’s success.

Donors and Supporters 2023

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the donors and supporters who contributed significantly to our endeavors in 2023. Special thanks go to:

The Tomita Family from Ito, Japan, for their unwavering support.
Across Corporation in Tokyo, for their invaluable partnership.
Sammy Sosa and Kate Hachmam in the United States, for their generous contributions.
Dylan Howard, also in the United States, for his steadfast commitment.
President Koura N. Ouattara in Africa, along with Bishop Ouattara and his family in Côte d’Ivoire, Africa, for their gracious support.
The entire crew of the FukushimaFix event, whose efforts were instrumental.
Mrs. Ayumi Nakamura, for her consistent and invaluable support.I also wish to acknowledge the members who are leading the upcoming agencies:
The International Women’s Club (IWC), expertly led by Mrs. Yoko Akahane.
The Marine Children Club (MCC), under the guidance of Arie Tomita in Ito City.
My appreciation extends to the staff of the Marine Embassy Resort House in Izu Kogen, particularly Mrs. Chiaki Okamoto, for her exceptional support and care.

Finally, a special thanks to the registered members of the new Marine Foundation Trust organization in Tokyo and to Mrs. Sumi Kondo, who has provided years of unwavering support. Your collective efforts and dedication are the pillars of our success.

I would like to express my profound gratitude to our global members for their exceptional contributions and the inspiring projects they have submitted to our Tokyo office. These initiatives reflect the dedication, creativity, and commitment of our community towards making a meaningful impact.

I extend a special acknowledgment to our members across Africa, whose eagerness and anticipation for the establishment of the Marine Foundation throughout the continent is deeply moving. Your enthusiasm and support fuel our mission and vision, reinforcing our commitment to expanding our presence and impact across Africa.

A heartfelt thanks is especially owed to Philip Abel Bensouda for his remarkable initiative in the Gambia. His dedication to setting up an orphanage exemplifies the spirit of community and compassion that lies at the heart of our organization. This project is not just a testament to his personal commitment but also a beacon of hope and support for the children who will benefit from this safe and nurturing environment.

The efforts of each member, from project conception to execution, are invaluable. They collectively represent the strength and diversity of our global community. As we continue to grow and reach new milestones, it is the unwavering support and innovative ideas from members like you that drive us forward, making a tangible difference in the lives of many. Thank you for your continued dedication and for being an integral part of our journey.

2024 Commitment

The year 2024 marks a significant milestone for the Marine Foundation, as we commit to the substantial realization of numerous systems that have been meticulously established. Among these, the Marine Children Club (MCC) and International Women’s Club (IWC) systems stand out as key focal areas.

In addition, the development of the platform WIKINATION.COM is an exciting venture that will be undertaken by our talented IT group based in Guadeloupe. This platform is envisioned to be a pivotal tool in enhancing our outreach and operational efficiency.

Central to our mission for 2024 is the goal of achieving complete financial independence. This autonomy is crucial for our ability to respond promptly and effectively to emergency projects, particularly those aimed at alleviating the suffering of children who lack necessary care and attention.

Our dedication to financial self-sufficiency is not just a strategic objective; it’s a commitment to ensuring that every project, especially those in urgent need, receives the attention and resources it deserves. By achieving this level of independence, we can more effectively direct our efforts towards the most pressing challenges facing children, offering them relief and hope.

This journey towards financial independence and the successful implementation of our systems will enable us to make a more substantial and lasting impact. We are dedicated to making 2024 a year of significant progress and positive change, driven by our unwavering commitment to the wellbeing of children worldwide.

New Year Determination and Wishes

As we usher in the New Year, it’s a time of reflection and renewed determination. This is a moment to set our intentions, not just as individuals, but as a collective force striving towards a common goal.
