Introduction of the supporters

When I was a child in kindergarten, I thought that war meant escaping from the rain of incendiary bombs.
Due to the continuous air strikes on my home-town of Kobe, only seven children, including myself, survived out of 130 kindergarteners.
I grew up during impoverished times following Japan's defeat, and I eventually went on to study Peace Studies (Internationalized Sociology). I have taught for more than 30 years at universities in Japan and also have had a lot of opportunities to give lectures to children in South Korea, Russia and the United States of America.
Unfortunately, not a single day goes by without war, even now. Therefore, from here in Japan, we must strongly demand the establishment of peace.
We will not spare any effort to achieve it.
This organization is also a part of these efforts towards establishing peace.
