Prologue

Prologue We all have the potential to fully develop our abilities. Throughout history, humanity has faced numerous crises that threaten our potential for growth and development. The most devastating of these crises is war, but there are also many other challenges we face in our daily lives, such as violence, discrimination, environmental destruction, natural disasters, and infectious diseases. Overcoming these difficulties may not be easy, but it is possible to explore their background and imagine a hopeful future. In this exhibition, "A History of the Path to Peace" we take you on a journey through time, from war in the 19th century to the present day in the 21st century, to explore how people in Japan, Asia, and around the world have confronted these challenges. We tell stories of individuals who have overcome obstacles and made choices for peace, as well as their wishes and questions for a better future. Join us on this journey to find pieces for peace and take action toward building a more peaceful world!
