-- TO MY FRIENDS --
The brilliant dawn of the age of the people
shines from the Tokaido region!*
Come, let us dive into the great ocean of dialogue
spreading waves of understanding all around us.
Let us set off on a grand voyage together,
waving high the flag of truth and justice.
* The Tokaido region (Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures) lies along the south-eastern edge of the Japanese main island of Honshu.
