Traditional Celebration of 70:

Gajyu: Celebrations for Longevity



Koki Celebration for 70th

Red is the customary color for gifts
for a person's 60th
birthday in Japan - and red
is also the color for the 70th,
according to our friend,
 Japanese expert, Keri Wilson.

On the 70th, it is customary to send 
a red hood, red vest, and red cushion 
to the birthday celebrant. 

The color red is believed to protect 
one against evil. 

We are now looking forward to
celebrating Yoko's Chaju (or 108th)
Birthday here at IK!
Stay tuned!

Also, check out MUSINGS for
Keri Wilson's complete
history of special birthday
celebrations in Japan.

Happy 70th Yoko Animated Gif

Greetings from your IK! friends....

IK! celebrated Yoko's 50th and 60th birthdays in 
our paper magazine, in those ancient pre-Internet days.  
How strange it feels now to wish this amazing woman 
a Happy 70th here online. We're able to share the love 
and warm feelings we have for Yoko with so many more 
people now, without the long wait for the printer and the mailwoman, who this month would have to slog through
mounds of snow and sub-zero weather
to deliver the message.
  
So much has changed since those 1983 and 1993 
birthdays, and yet what's most important 
remains the same.  
Yoko still stands strong in the beliefs she and
her partner, John Lennon, held so dear and
sacrificed so much for.
What would John think of her now?
Yoko recently told the NY Post:
 "If he's observing me from up there, 
I'm sure he's proud of me" and yes, 
I have no doubt he would be.  Yoko
has made it her quest to keep her partner's
legacy alive.  And, thankfully, she has been
just as passionate about creating unique, 
thought-provoking and positive music and art 
of her own.

--Perseverance,  Love,  Courage, Hope--
These are just a few words that I associate with
the Yoko I have come to know and love
over the past 30-plus years.

"winter passes, and one remembers
one's perseverance" - Y.O. '81


This winter, too, shall pass and it's reassuring
to know that when the flowers bloom and the
birds sing this spring, Yoko will be there,
dreaming up some new project, taking us
to another incredible place where most of us
have never been before.

Happy 70th, Yoko..and here's to at least 70 more.

Best wishes from your old friends at IK!,
Tom and Marsha  Ewing


Hi Yoko and Happy Happy Birthday. 
You are still so beautiful and young in every way. 
I have been a fan since 1985 and now at age 30 
I love you more then ever. Thanks for something 
new and funky every step of the way. 
Cannot wait to hit 
the dance floor when "Walking On Thin Ice" gets mixed up. 
Thank-you for being you and being something unique 
and refreshing for me to hold on to. Forever....

Kiss Kiss Kiss,
Matt from Jersey

On Sunday, I wore "Don't Fight for Peace, 
Stand for Peace" 
t-shirt down Market Street.  
Today I feel more optimistic as the 
whole world is now saying Give Peace A Chance!  
It's like seeing a dream imagined over 30 years ago 
coming true now.   

Happy Birthday

Dear Yoko,

You mean the world to me.
I find so much strength and courage from within you.
I lean on you more than you will ever know when
I feel afraid or struggle in life.
You are the the truest artist ever. 
I admire the way you have lived your life, 
full of freedom with no boundaries and I try to 
learn to live freely by your example.
 
How wonderful it feels to accomplish 
that feeling just for only a part of my day. 
You are so alive, still creating, 
with no boundary of retiring like so many people do, 
but not you. Hopefully NEVER will!
 
I love you my sister, in my heart. 
I could never thank you enough
for your contribution to my life, 
and thousands of others.
 

Happy
Birthday 
Yoko!!!!

Love & Peace,


Kim Bishop


Let me count the ways
You amaze me
It's like the dazzle of the sun at dawn
It's like the first time I opened _Grapefruit_
It's like that strong voice that sang to me
Telling me wisely
That we're all together
We're rising now
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Let me count the ways How we need you
It's like the peace that's just a wish away  
It's like we need the other half of the sky
It's like that air around us
That binds us tightly
Whispering softly
'War's over now.'
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Let me make a wish:
'Happy birthday!'
And it will come true when the match blows out
I'll tie it to a tree that's
Still an acorn
Soon you'll have everything in
Our magic pow'r
Promising truly
'The answer is "yes."'

Happy, happy birthday!

Dear Yoko!

Happy Birthday to you.....Yoko

I happened to visit ik from the link of other websites.
so this is the first time i  visit ik.

It's really an coincidence that today is your 70th birthday.

I am in China,so now it's 2.18

Tell you the truth, I used to hate you.
Because I really like the beatles,and also
John Lennon.But later I realized how childish I am. 
Since Mr.Lennon loves you so much,
you must be a good person and worthy to be loved 
by John Lennon.

Hope you're healthy and happy
yours,


rae


 Happy birthday, Yoko!

I was born in Vermont in 1961 and I grew up
listening to the Beatles and following
the careers of John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
When you came into the picture, I became your fan, too.
I was just an overgrown kid when you
and John put out "Double Fantasy."
Now I'm at about the same stage of life as you were
when you recorded that one. I love that record more
than any other record in the whole world.
There's more to life than music, I know,
but music sure helps!

I can't believe you're turning 70! You look great.
Nothing ever stays the same.
Please let us know that you've given up tobacco!

I wish you and yours peace and happiness during this
special moment in your life -- and forever.
With respect and admiration from a devoted fan,

Michael Senecal, 
Gainesville, Florida, USA       
          
        
        

  thank you for your first 7o years on earth,
sharing you art and your attitude with us.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I loved your inspirational Peace Ad in the 
NY Times on Sunday.
We really should have more people like you 
who not only think peace but does something about it.

Our representatives at all levels of government, 
in this last bastion of world democracy called the USA, 
have succumb to monetary influences and the wishes 
of their uneducated electorate (i.e. they blindly follow 
rather than question or lead!).

We may be on the losing end but we, as you, refuse to give up.

Our prayers are with you in your call for peace.

NOTE: the World-Wide peace marches this past week 
tells us that there is still hope.

God bless you and your philosophy.

Yoko,

Happy Birthday!

This morning, I found the website and 
saw it was your b-day so here I am. 
Great timing, as always, by the universe. 
If there was one gift I could give you, 
it would be President Bush saying, "War is Over!..."

Kevin


& all he was saying is "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE..." 
have a happy birthday Yoko, 

peace & love always, 

Keith&Ann.


Dear Yoko,

Happy Birthday to you! 
In times like these, may the world remember..
and live as one.

God bless you, Mother.

Dear Yoko    
Congratulations on the occasion of your 70th Birthday !
 
My husband and I got married in Gibraltar, 
and we have a room in our house that is 
dedicated to you & John - gold and platinum discs, 
and stamps with you & John in Gibraltar at your wedding 
and my husband even found me a Japanese copy of
your Wedding Album LP ! Dedicated fans - you might say.
  
John is greatly missed.
     
Best Wishes

Dear Ms. Ono, 
you are an inspiration to all women everywhere.  
If I was told I could meet one person, anyone, 
before I died, it would be you. In this time
of impending war, I look to you and the memory 
of your beloved late husband for strength. 
We can't fail when there are still people like you in the
world, people who care and who know that what we all 
really need is peace, and that war brings nothing but 
death and loss. I hope you have a spectacular birthday.

With love,

Julia


 I think you must be a Bohdisattva -
I think John was too.
Much uncontaminated happiness 
and peace on your Birthday, Yoko.

DEAR YOKO,

 CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.
I WAS WONDERING HOW LONG IT HAS TO HURT WHEN 
YOU LOSE SOMEONE THAT IS CLOSE TO YOU.  I LOST 
MY YOUNGER BROTHER LAST MARCH. HE WAS TAKEN 
SUDDENLY BY A BRAIN SEIZURE THAT SHUT DOWN HIS BODY.  
HE WAS 44 YEARS YOUNG , NOT MUCH OLDER THAN JOHN 
WAS SO IT WAS TOTALLY UNEXPECTED BY OUR FAMILY.  
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET BACK TO THE ROUTINE 
OF EVERYDAY LIVING BUT WE HAVE LOST A PART OF US 
THAT WE WILL NEVER RECOVER. LUCKILY WE HAVE A 
LARGE FAMILY SO WE CAN LEAN ON ONE ANOTHER 
BUT THAT TOO MAKES THE LOSS FELT MORE ESPECIALLY 
WHEN WE ARE ALL TOGETHER AND JACK IS NOT THERE.  
HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU FEEL 
WHOLE AGAIN ?  HOW DID YOU FILL THE EMPTINESS ?  
THANKS FOR LISTENING.

Namaste, wish you a happy birthday with love.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday 
next week, happy 70th! 
I hope it is a special day for you 
and you are able to spend it with your family! 
Have a great day! 
Love, Sara McKnight


Dearest Yoko Ono,

Although I am only 17,
I have always felt very connected to your art and cause.
During these present trying times, I still hold onto
the dream of peace--and I owe this faith to you.
Thank you for instilling in me such hope and giving me endless
inspiration. You are the ideal idol and words cannot
express how much you mean to me.  I hope you
have a fantastic 70th birthday, a landmark that
should be rightfully celebrated by a remarkable woman.

Blessings and love,
Lauren from NYC


Dear Yoko Ono,

Happy Birthday!

Our  World could really use John here now,
So that he could tell everyone how crazy our World 
has become and show us the way/light to 
peace and harmony on earth.

Since 11 Feb 2003 i have felt that John has been with me  
and this has made me become very inspired
to turn the World on to what he always stood for. 
he says it is time for the woman of the world to get 
very loud about the state of history
and he wants herstory to be started.

I hope i have your support and love in my effort.

Thank you for being here on the earth Yoko,
things are about to change for the better, i 've got a feeling.
all the sheepish people, who are scared and cowardly  
have to know is that it all starts with them and there thoughts.

Please tell the World that there is hope, 
that the change will come if they all really think 
about it and do something.

A new book will be created for a new religion that will 
reign on the earth.
Most of John's words will make up this book. 
People will follow his words.
This religion will have us mediating to Mother Nature.
all the dreamers will join together and add the magic 
back into the World.
all artists will work together to make this happen.
We will get the world spinning on a new course - one of peace.

when i was little i was always told  that if there was to 
be a 3rd world war (lets switch that to 3rd world way)
that all humanity would be outlived by insects. I want to 
share with the World that those insects are the words of the John.
The walrus has returned, and gives you lots of hugs.
Peace & love forever and always

Kelli Fidlow


this morning i woke up in brooklyn, new york
the sky was smiling white
and the news told me
that nobody wants to let george and colin start a war
and i feel compelled to thank you, dear yoko
for showing us the possibility of another way
it took a generation
but we're closer now to peace than ever before
when you next speak to your dear john
send him my best and thank him for me
many happy returns dear friend
on your 70th!

peace and love to you

Dear Yoko,

I want to wish you a very happy and special birthday! 
I hope all of your dreams and wishes come true. 
May you have many many more!

Thank you for all that you do for mankind 
and your constant message of peace. 
You are a tried and true role model for all of us! Bless you!

Dear Yoko,
My friends and I would like to wish you a happy birthday. 
Continue your art 'cause we LOVE it. If you have the time, 
you can e-mail us at beatle_jo13@hotmail.com
we would love to hear from you and how you are doing!

Greeting from a friend

Happy Birthday from Bobbie & Sam.

You don't know us, but your work & John's work 
has made a tremendous difference in our lives!

Much Love.


WISH YOU THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY.
THANKS FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE BY WAY 
OF INSPIRATION FOR MY EX-WIFE AND I 
AND NOW MY GIRLFRIEND. 
YOU LOOK AND ARE WONDERFUL. 
SEND A PRAYER TO JOHN FOR ALL OF US.
DAVE AND JACKIE


Happy Birthday Yoko. 
I have been one of the biggest 
fans of both yours and John's for years -- 
seems like eternity. I went to see your art show last year 
(2002) held at MIT in Cambridge. 
My brother and I loved it.
Unfortunately, the day you were there, we missed! 
I miss John so much, as a matter of fact my girlfriend and I, 
who is unfortunately in FL with her daughter now, 
always kid around pretending that we are you and John. 
We love the "fortunately/unfortunately" piece that you and 
John did. We do that all the time, making up our own as we 
go along -- that's how much the both you inspired us. 
As a matter of fact her e-mail address is -- lo and behold -- www.johnyokosean@aol.com.

AGAIN, HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH LOVE FROM BOTH OF US,

DAVE ROSE

P.S. TELL SEAN WE SEND OUR LOVE
P.P.S. JOHN'S LOVE FOR PEACE AND THE HUMAN RACE 
IS STILL WITH US ALL!


dear ms. yoko ono,

you are a wonderful person full of great thoughts.
it's such a blessing to have you in the world.

Happy Birthday, Yoko!

You are an energetic force for change and love.
You are part of the emblem of a beautiful relationship
that we try to fashion
in our LovePartnership 
(Marriage--June 14, 2003).


You and your songs are an ecstatic cry of joy
and life!
You and your art remind us of our humanity.

You nudge us toward Deep Living.
You offer us great peace.
And you suggest that we are all possible of offering
the same to all the people we meet.

We are grateful and wish you the very best.
Happy Birthday and many, many more!
Thanks for all the love you spread.

Peace,

Have a most wonderful 70th birthday.

Tim and Willa


Dear Yoko!!!!

I'm just about to finish a huge presentation 
about your art, for my Art studies in university..... 
and so happy that it's just a few days from your birthday.

You are a very special artist for me.....
and now, for my 4 sons too, 
who learn so much about you, 
your imagination, your words, your ideas, 
and especially your great life efforts for peace...

We love you all & wish you beautiful and 
happy skies for your birthday!!!

We wish the next days in our very unpeaceful 
world will be what you always thought should be.......
peace.

Yours, with huge hugs

Orly niv
Israel.


Dear Yoko,

If only you knew the difference you made...

Because I suspect you don't. You don't know 
the extent of your influence in the lives 
of those of us around the world who 'got it' 
and are quietly getting on with our lives 
differently as a result of your influence.

You moved the goalposts and suddenly 
so much more became possible 
and so much of the old fell away. 
Our heads became bigger spaces with 
more possibilities to explore, old assumptions 
to question and discard. The world became 
a smaller community and the barriers 
became transparent, like the emperor's new clothes.

Ah, the potency of ideas. Some of my favourite 
tracks are the ideas - the Declaration of Nutopia 
is still a great favourite: profound, witty and 
liberating all at the same time. The bed-ins - 
such a brilliant, beautiful idea, 
executed so effectively. The exhibitions, 
like the one in the Festival Hall in London 
where I came out each time with a smile 
on my face, feeling like I'd had an 
internal spring-clean! And the music... 
no song by anyone has touched me 
as powerfully as Speck of Dust.

So that is what I wish for your birthday - 
that one day you get to realise the difference you made. 
Because if you did, it ought to be a great comfort to you!

With love and thanks

Christopher Mander  
(England... well Nutopia in actuality, 
England only nominally. I stopped being English in 1971!)

Omedetou Koki Yoko!

Happy birthday dear Yoko.
We wish your birthday is filled with joy and everlasting love.
Please come to see us again at John's tribute concert in Tokyo.
You are always in our hearts.

lots of love,

YOKO,

   JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU THE BEST BIRTHDAY 
EVER AND THAT I HAVE LONG BEEN WATCHING 
ALL YOU HAVE DONE WITH YOUR LIFE, AND I LIKE IT.
MAY YOU AND THE FAMILY ENJOY THIS DAY 
AND THE MANY MORE TO COME.
YEARS AGO I PURCHASED A PRINT 
CALLED {JOHN AND YOKO}. 
I TREASURE THIS SMALL PIECE 
OF YOUR LIVES AND WILL CHERISH IT ALWAYS.
THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOKO..

Happy Birthday Yoko and many more.

You have given the world so much, 
if only the world would give it back to you, we'd be alright.

  As you once said:
A dream we dream alone is only a dream
A dream we dream together is reality
Let's all dream a world at peace

Happy Birthday

and take care, be safe, and have a wonderful
birthday!!
