The NHK Hiroshima Branch and Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum have joined hands to implement a special call for people to send their peace messages to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial in conjunction with the forthcoming From Hiroshima to Hiroshima – The Town Seen from the Dome exhibition, which has been organized to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Viewers are being invited to send in heart-felt messages on a postcard bearing the word "Peace". All postcards will first be delivered to a temporary mailbox set up for 65 days on the northern side of the A-Bomb Dome. They will then be displayed at the special exhibition in the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum. The messages will also be posted on the NHK Hiroshima Branch website.
Please write the word "Peace" and your thoughts and wishes for peace on a postcard and send it to us.
- The message may be in any language with the design and script size of your choice. The postcard can be used either vertically or horizontally.
- All messages accepted will be exhibited at the venue of From Hiroshima to Hiroshima – The Town Seen from the Dome exhibition at the Hiroshima Prefectural Art Museum. They will also be posted on the website of NHK Hiroshima Branch etc.
