| 2010 “Modest Wishes” Kagee Exhibition “Hope our wishes would touch the world” |

| Hiroshima
Modest Wishes Kagee Exhibition2010 “Hope our wishes would touch the world” In the summer 60 years after the war I exhibited the Kagee of my own for the first time in Hiroshima. This summer is for the 6th year’s exhibit that was made by primarily Hiroshima citizens. Every year the more citizens participated in this Kagee event. Each piece of work involves many wishes of Hiroshima residents from kindergartens to the elderly. I hope the blessing of peace would prevail steadily through those who are exposed to the exhibit. August 2010, by Yuko Hamazaki ( Kagee producer) |

“Hope our wishes would touch the world” ( Yoko Kindergarten ） |
“A Song of Peace ! Touch the World!
1” （Gains Kindergarten） |
“A Song of Peace! Touch the world!
2” （Gains Kindergarten） |
We talked about the end
of the war in Okinawa on June 23, A-bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
and numerous number of the same small children who suffer in the countries
where internal dispute gets endless. Earth to belong to everyone! Each
child has expressed herself (himself) surrounding the earth with strong
spirit to preserve the earth ourselves by drawing shape of continents
they learned at the kindergarten. |
Children look all happy
and lively when they truly enjoy singing, dancing and performing. They
bring to us adults hope and courage. Love & Peace Concert is held
every February at Gains Kindergarten/ Hiroshima Jogakuin. We trust that
the songs by the children surely reach not only the families at Concert
but also every country in the world as praying for peace. |
The kids felt what is
important and cut each picture. Just like musical notes, they were finishing
into the final Kagee out of houses, animals, flowers, earth, insects,
friends, A-bomb Dome, God, heart and life each of which is so precious
to them. |

“Friendly life”（Nagarekawa
Kindergarten） Every life on the earth given by God is equal. Grass, flower, insect, animal and human being are all the same. If everyone is shaking hands and making friends, every war would be gone ever in the world. The children’s strong wishes are reflected in this piece of work. |
