Path of the Peace “Heiwa-no Komichi”

Artist: Hossein Golba

The unglazed pieces of pottery (“suyaki”) contain the footprints of the world’s children. This “suyaki” pathway leads us through the world’s cultures.
The footprints of 40 children from 2 years old to 12 years old were cast at the A-Bomb drop site (epicenter) in Nagasaki and brought here to the Peace Museum on Sep 27, 2003.
