MISSION
Realization of world peace - Creating a planet where children can live in peace
VISION
Raising Peace-Creating Children
Creating a planet where children can live in peace is a very urgent and important issue.
We at the Peace Piece Project define world peace as the creation of a planet where children can live in peace and security, and we are raising children who will create peace in order to realize this definition.
We are not only passing on the “history” of war and nuclear weapons, but also creating learning opportunities to think concretely about how to create peace, and through future-oriented peace education, we are nurturing children who will create peace.

At the age of 10, he was in a car accident that resulted in a brain hemorrhage that nearly killed him, and he miraculously returned from the brink of life and death. As a token of his gratitude, he aspired to become an entrepreneur to benefit society.
As a high school student, he participated in volunteer activities to guide students from Japan and abroad around Peace Memorial Park.
He decided to actively promote activities to “create peace,” rather than just anti-war activities to convey the history of war and nuclear weapons.
She regards the aging of those who experienced the atomic bombing and war as a serious problem, and aims to realize world peace by raising as many peace-creating children as possible now.
My mother was exposed to the atomic bomb when she was 5 years old, 1.5 km from the bombing site. She lost her grandfather in the war and her grandmother in the atomic bombing, and grew up hearing true stories of the reconstruction of Hiroshima from her mother and great-grandmother.
