During World War II, Okinawa was the sole battlefield in Japan . We lost
many precious lives and parts of our cultural heritage as a result of the
battles fought here. Half a century has passed since then, and it is an
important task to hand down the historical facts accurately, for futuregenerations.
Accordingly, we urage an children and students to paint or draw pictures,
or write essays or poems about peace and send them to us. Availing ourselves
of this opportunity, we will talk about and remind people of the preciousness
of peace. Also, we will put on display pictures, paintings, essays and poems
of distinctive quality that will thereby send out the "message of peace"
and appeal to the hearts of many people.
