touban 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.
