Ho voluto esplorare anche il mondo della danza, e ho incontrato sulla mia strada il ballerino amputato Koichi Omae, originario di Osaka. A 23 anni, quando si stava affacciando alla carriera professionale, un incidente d'auto gli ha portato via tutti i sogni. Ha subìto l'amputazione della gamba sinistra sotto il ginocchio. Con grande forza di volontà ha deciso di proseguire la carriera di ballerino, consapevole che senza l'arto avrebbe dovuto spendere molte più energie non solo nel compiere il gesto artistico, ma anche solo per camminare normalmente. A Tokyo, città non sempre a misura di persone con disabilità, è riuscito ad affermarsi come ballerino fino a ad essere invitato a danzare alla Cerimonia di Chiusura dei Giochi Paralimpici di Rio de Janeiro nel 2016. Ha superato completamente il concetto di disabilità: “se non provi dolore fisico, sofferenza mentale o difficoltà pratiche, non sei disabile” mi ha detto “e dunque io non lo sono”.

a significant testimony full of strength for those who are less fortunate.
The willpower and desire to assert itself as existing has rewarded him.
Silvia' scompliments.

Gallery, realization and spirit that accompanies them truly commendable; Great.
Once upon a time there was a debate about the "mysterious east", but Japan is truly a distant and alien galaxy for us, as I fear it may be for the Japanese themselves.
