“The Peace and Reconciliation Tree”
- World Characters Symposium 2014
- Carving peace and reconciliation in characters of the world,
- we created a cross-shaped tree by intersecting two wooden boards.
- Each board cannot stand alone.
- Only by relying on each other can peace and reconciliation be established.
- This is the true spirit of proper characters, the spirit of humanities,
- and true beauty.
- We dream of a world of peace and reconciliation
- created by the unity of characters from around the world.
