Presenting Books to Fujisawa City Eduction Cultural Center
We received an eager request from an individual in Fujisawa City for us to conttribute the book “The Story of the UN Peace Bell” to all of the elementary schools and junior highschools in Fujisawa City.
Seiko Takase visited Kazuya Miyamoto, the supervisor at Fujisawa City Eduction Cultural Center, and presented 54 copies of the book.
The book is about the Chiyoji Nakagawa’s strong aspiration for peace, who donated a Peace Bell, cast with coins from around the world, to the United Nations in 1954 with the hope that another world war should never happen.
Seiko Takase asked Kazuya Miyamoto to share the books by all means with school boys and girls who bear a new age.
Reviving the faded Gold Letters on the Peace Bell
The gold letters on the bell 「世界絶対平和萬歳」 (literal translation is “World’s Absolute Peace for Ten thousand Years”) represent Chiyoji Nakagawa’s intense desire. The gold letters faded away after many years, and we launnched a project to repair it. The projec was undertaken by Oigo Ltd., and a crafsman visited to New York from Japan.
