Maruki Gallery: Saitama
At the time when the 3/11 Earthquake struck Maruki
Gallery was exhibiting atomic bombing drawings by Mr. &Mrs. Maruki, and was just amidst opening the“Daigofukuryu Maru Incident” exhibit from Ben Shahn’s“Lucky Dragon Series.”
On March 5 there had been a discussion with one of thecrew of the Lucky Dragon No. 5, Matashichi Oishi, and thepoet, Arthur Binard, in which Binard stated, “We are allriding on the Lucky Dragon No. 5.” Although this sentiment
was somewhat evocative, after the nuclear accident, webegan to face the threats of radioactivity as he implied.
Given this situation, from May 3-June 25, we had also
opened an exhibit about emergency planning entitled, “Fromthe Perspective of Chernobyl,” which featured paintingsfrom “The Village in the Winds” by artists who depicted thelives of those who have lived at the site of the nuclear
disaster area 25 years ago as well as photographs by
Hirokawa Ryuichi and Motohashi Seichi. We created thisexhibit so that we could broaden our understanding of both
Chernobyl and Fukushima. Amidst the exhibition we also
held a concert by Komuru Hitoshi, a talk by Motohashi, an
update from the site of the Fukushima nuclear disaster led byphotojournalist Toyoda Naomi, and a concert by Chernobyl
survivor, Nataliya Gudziy, which was widely attended.
Maruki Iri said, “Pika (the atomic bomb) is different fromearthquakes and tsunami. Atomic bombs are dropped by

Women’s Active Museum on War and Peace (WAM)
Executive Secretary: Watanabe Mina
In January 2011 WAM held a symposium which featured
the well-known Korean artist, Yun Suknam, who is anactivist for peace and support WAM’s activities, donated 20
wood sculptures for potential female donors from her “999”1piece. This “999” piece, which is intended to represent thenotion of Buddhist restraint by subtracting “1” from thenumber “1,000”, intends to communicate that women
throughout the world can become a person who can fulfill
the world. The piece has been completely sold, but willremain at WAM until December, after which the individual
pieces will be sent to their buyers.
On 7/2/2011 a special exhibition entitled, “TheGrandmothers of the Philippines Rise Up: From the Islands
Tread Upon by the Japanese Military” began. Amidst thefierce fighting of WWII, as both the Japanese Military andAmerican Military became entangled in the Philippine
resistance movement, numerous “Comfort Stations” andmilitary rape zones were established, and the instances of
military rape increased. Through firsthand testimonies andother materials, the actual circumstances of the “Sanko
Military Strategy” (Kill to the utmost, burn to the utmost,steal to the utmost) are now coming to light. This special
exhibition, through the efforts of citizens who have come tosupport the “lola” (which means grandmother in Tagalog)
and researchers who have conducted surveys and dug for
information, explains the latest information regarding theextent of the sexual violence in the Philippines.
Maria Rosa Luna Henson divulge her true identity as a“comfort woman” victim for the first time. When she
heard that women who had been forced to work as sexual
slaves should divulge the past on the radio, she said, “I felt as
if my blood turned white.” Following her, 400
individuals have come forward as victims.
These
grandmothers have courageously added their own names
and have played a major role in the struggle. On 7/2,
Felicida de los Ráez and her supporter were invited to appear
at an opening event, and Professor Satoshi Nakano of
Hitotsubashi University gave a lecture on the 100,000
civilians who died over a period of two months during thebattle in Manila. In order to make the public aware of thelittle-known circumstances of the fighting in the Philippines,
we have planned to hold a public conversation in fall entitled,“The Philippine Front from the Eyes of the Soldier” which
will include accounts by soldiers and others.
It has been 20 years since Kim Hak Soon came forward to
identify herself as a Korean “comfort woman” victim on
8/14/1991. Moreover, 12/14/11 will mark the 1000th timethat “Wednesday protesters” have gone out to protest on
Wednesday of every week in front of the Japanese Embassyin Seoul, the Republic of Korea. To the extent that even one
victim spends their life struggling to solve the “Comfort
Woman” issue, we in WAM will actively join them insolidarity. We look forward to your coming to visit ourmuseum and joining us as well.

“KAJA: Visitors of the Seoul Peace Museum (KAJA
means, ‘Let’s Go!)”We, the Korea And Japan Alternative learning group, area small citizen’s organization who seek to explore Korean
history and culture through film and music. We hold a study
group led by Professor Yi Yonchae once each month andembark upon a study tour once a year. This year in the
March study tour we met with Professor Han Hong, of
Sungkonghoe University, and went on a walking tour ofKanghwa Island and the greater Seoul metropolitan area. We
were also given a tour of the Peace Museum which is
directed by Professor Han.
From 1990 this museum has led a movement to reflect
upon the massacres done by the Korean military toVietnamese residents amidst the Vietnam War. At this time,
we learned that two grandmothers who were “comfort
women” of the Japanese military gave their entire life’ssaving as “the seed of peace”: this movement, in the spirit of“Suffering, Memory, and Solidarity,” seeks to generate anawareness of peace.
We, as Japanese, were deeply affected by the knowledge
there that many victims within the various countries of Asiaand the grandmothers whose lives were thrown under footwere able to empathize with those in Vietnam whom they
have never met.
In recent years, those of us who love Korean drama andthose of us who love Korea have had many opportunities tolearn about Korean history, but at the same time there has
been a trend to turn away from the history of Japaneseaggression and violence toward colonized Koreans.
Regardless, this museum revealed to us a history of violenceand provided us with a path to resolving it. This left us
with a lasting awareness of the suffering of others!
In the hopes of sharing this impression with those close to
us we decided to create a leaflet in Japanese. If we createsuch a leaflet, perhaps we can apply the same spirit of“Suffering, Memory, and Solidarity” in order to moveothers.
We completed this effort with the help of museum staff,
Yeonhwan Kim, and with the permission of Hong Han.
Currently, our members are distributing leaflets to theirfriends and acquaintances, and when we go to Seoul we aremaking plans to provide this leaflet to the Peace Museum
there.

We realize that perhaps this is not extensive, but we would
be thrilled if the peace museums throughout Japan could
distribute the leaflet as well. Please contact us at thefollowing address:

well as those who continue to live after Fukushima. As aresult, we have exhibited their impressions. (This exhibition
will be open until 3/2012.)

Yamanashi Peace Museum Chairperson, Tamotsu Asakawa
Thank you for participating in the 10th Annual Peace
Conference which took place at the main hall of the
Yamanashi Peace Museum in Kofu City. Thanks to all, 57
persons attended and it went exceptionally well. We would
like to report on subsequent efforts since then.
The exhibit, “Considering the Okinawan Battles” which
had been planned since last fall has continued from April
2011, and the exhibit, “Yamanashi War Site and Artifacts”
was begun and will continue until the end of September.
We have focused on surveying and preserving the
Yamanashi battle sites in Yamanashi prefecture, andexhibited the trenches at Nirasaki, war remains in the
Minami Alps City, and the Otsuki watch place ruins in apanel. We are also exhibiting actual artifacts related to thefire bombings of Kofu City as well as from fighter aircraft.
On 6/19 we held an event to mark our 4th Anniversary inwhich we welcomed the Director of the Hiratsuka RaichoMuseum, Yoneda Saeko. Because this year is the 100-year
anniversary of the publication of Hiratsuka’s “In the
Beginning, Woman was the Sun,” in the Bluestocking
journal, Yoneda focused on Hiratsuka and gave a talkentitled, “Hiratsuka Raicho’s Conception of Peace.” It was agreat success.
Thanks to all, in July visitors to the Museum surpassed
7,000. Moreover, since the Museum opened, every month
there have been lectures and symposiums that draw from30-50 people and deepened our engagement. This year
marks 80 years since the Manchurian Incident and 70 years
after the Asian Pacific War. In order to commemorate
these events, we are planning an exhibition to be held thisfall in October entitled, “80 Years Since the Manchurian
Incident.”

Daigo Fukuryu Maru Exhibition Hall: Tokyo
Because of the impact of the Eastern Japan Earthquake
and the Fukushima Radiation Incident, all field trips havebeen canceled or changed. There has been a significant dropin visitors since mid March to the museum.
On the one hand, because of the implications of theradiation and environmental pollution, the Daigo Fukuryu
Maru takes on a new significance; however, there is still agreat sense of uncertainty about how to understand thissignificance. As a result, those who visit the museum do sowith a greater sense of urgency.
The exhibition, “News clippings from the Bikini Island
Incidents and the Lives of those who Experienced the Daigo
Fukuryu Maru Disaster” will be displayed until 9/19. 57
years earlier, the fear among the public increased because ofreports of “Atomic Tuna,” “Radioactive Rain,” and“Agricultural Production” [linked to the incident]. This
exhibition displays 104 newspaper articles from that timeand 25 other pieces of archival material. A related public
lecture was held on 6/3 entitled, “Radioactivity and theEarth” which was given by well-known researchers such as
Professor Ikuro Anzai who addressed the victims, radiation
protections and the environmental pollution at the time of the
Daigo Fukuryu Maru Disaster. A documentary about thescience of the time was also shown and about 170 people
participated.
This helps us understand the nuclear incident and the
spread of pollution at the time of the Bikini Island Incident.
This also helps us call into question the common perceptionof the public that other countries have not been subject tonuclear disaster, and for this reason we must continue toteach daily about the Daigo Fukuryu Maru Disaster and the
Bikini Island Incident.
The exhibition, “Those who Saw the Ship 2011” will openfrom 9/23: this is an exhibition that displays impressions ofstudents and the public who have visited the Daigo Fukuryu
Maru Exhibition Hall. This year is the 35th anniversary of
the museum, and as we look to a world without nuclear
weapons and without war, we reflect how individuals today
interpret the intentions of those who preserved the ship as

about 200 first-hand experiences of A-bomb survivors in
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. More than hundred accounts
which will be added soon are still on the way to be edited. At
the end of this year, 370 accounts shall be run on the website.
This is truly an unprecedentedly great work.

International News
More than 350 volunteers from all over the world helped
translating and proofreading the survivors’ accounts fromJapanese into English. This is certainly a fruit of conscienceof peace loving people on this planet. When visiting with it,
you might find it a beautifully designed and well-functioned
website.

International news in Muse Newsletter will not be publishedmuch because it is available on the INMP Newsletter on its
website. However, here is some news for those who do not
use the Internet.
Activities for Revealing the Truth of the No Gun Ri
Massacre and Review on the Establishment of the No
Gun Ri Peace Park
– Focused on Social & Peace Movement –The No Gun Ri Massacre refers to an incident committed
during the Korean War in which civilians were killed by U.S.
soldiers between July 25 and July 29, 1950 near the villageof No Gun Ri. The village is located in Hwanggan-myeon,
Yeongdong County, Chungcheongbuk-do in central South
Korea. Ironically, this civilian massacre was committed by
the U.S. soldiers who participated in the Korean War as partof the U.N. forces to protect the freedom and life of South
Korean people. During the massacre, there were 500 to
600 refugees and around 100 in the refugee column were
killed by air strikes of U.S. airplanes. Thereafter, therefugees who survived the air strikes were forced to stayinside the Twin Tunnels of No Gun Ri for three nights andfour days (about 70 hours) by the soldiers of the 7th Cavalry
Regiment of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division and around 300
unarmed innocent civilians were killed by the rifle andmachine guns of the U.S. soldiers.
The No Gun Ri Massacre has been broadly known athome and abroad as the most symbolic case of human rights
violations which can represent the importance of humanrights and peace. What is noteworthy about this incident ofmass killings lies in the fact that the victims were at thecenter of all the activities for revealing the truth of themassacre and hence enhancing peace in the world.
Although the victims were viewed as supporters ofanti-Americanism by some people and thus faced a lot ofdifficulties, they overcame the hardships and were finallyable to receive the official statement of regret from the U.S.
former President Clinton. In that process, the No Gun Ri
Massacre has been known as a good example of showing‘true reconciliation of the past history.’ The activities of thevictims to reveal the truth of the hidden massacre led tocontinuous achievements and later naturally developed intosocial movements, enhancing human rights and peace ingeneral. The process of these activities can be roughly
categorized into five steps.

Now, it is a very crucial and final time to listen directly tothe silent survivors’ pleas for “the World without Nuclear
Weapons”. I hope this website would support all of us toconfirm our mutual decision to act together for the abolitionof every nuclear weapon in this world.
My name is Yoshiko Tanigawa, an independent peace
activist living in Japan, I have been working as a volunteer
guide for Kyoto Museum for World Peace, Ritsumeikan
University and as a volunteer translator for MUSE, a
newsletter reporting people’s peace activities in Japan aswell as in all over the world. While as I was asked by thechief editor of this English website project, I have been
helping him as an assistant for past several months. He nevercompromised so as to provide the best translations whichconvey the reality of what the survivors experienced as vivid
as possible in English. I reconfirmed that process ofconnecting so many supporters from various backgrounds
and creating something filled with human value is as
important as the value of the completed result. I have been
experiencing the survivors’ agony by reading their accounts
and witnessing such peace-building process throughassisting the director. Lots of English-native-speakers who
have been supporting as checkers read those accounts so
deeply and precisely. I recognized that they were strongly
moved and shocked by knowing and confirming how crueland evil it was to drop the bombs. They seemed to be
devoting themselves so deeply into this project beyond theirpersonal conditions and their first motivation. Their reactions
touched me, too.
I believe that this website is full of power and compassion
to evoke our imagination. It whispers us “Let’s listen to thenameless peoples’ voices and let’s create safe future foreveryone”. I am looking forward to your visit to the website.
And if you like it, please hand it to your friends as you give alight of your candle to the person next to you….. Thank youvery much for listening to my tweet.

Gun Ri Massacre (Publication of Novels)
2. Educating the Public about the No Gun Ri Massacre andMaking it into Public Issues
3. Launching Academic Research & Holding Cultural
Events
4. Establishing the No Gun Ri Special Act and No Gun Ri
Peace Park
5. Promoting the Core Lessons of the No Gun Ri Massacre,‘Value of Human Rights and Peace’

During the Live Music at the Museum Cultural andArtistic Show we have introduced Charming Hostess bandfrom the USA. Our American guest, multi-wind
instrumentalist and composer Jason Ditzian, presented theirinnovative historical-cultural/ musical program - The Bowls
Project - inspired by the Babylonian amulets – as well as
original compositions of Charming Hostess, works of other
American artists and some pieces of Uzbek traditional music.
Jason was joined on the stage by young local musicians
Shahzod Normurodov and Askar Rahmonov playing
Uzbek national instruments rubob and doira. The event took
place in the old and beautifully decorated reception hall of
the Samarkand Museum for Regional Studies. The activistsof Samarkand Peace Museum distributed among all
participants Japanese paper cranes – as a token of peace,good will, memory, friendship and solidarity.

All the fruits achieved by the truth-revealing activities
mainly led by the victims of the No Gun Ri Massacre werepossible because the leaders of the victims had accurate
recognition about the problem, the ability to adopt literary
and academic approaches and a strong vision for theenhancement of human rights and peace.
In that sense, the No Gun Ri Peace Park is the result of theblood of victims and the tear and sweat of surviving victims
and bereaved families. Rather than being just a memorial
place for victims, the No Gun Ri Peace Park aims to becomea true peace park where people from all around the world
can share the message of human rights and peace. When
the No Gun Ri Peace Park is completed in the second half of2011, the site of the No Gun Ri Massacre is expected to
become a mecca of cherishing the value of human rights andpeace and a base camp for peace movement in Asia.
Last but not least, I want to express my heartfelt appreciationand honor to share the core lessons of the No Gun Ri
Massacre in Muse: the Newsletter of the Japanese Citizens’
Network of Museums for Peace. I do believe South Korea
and Japan can closely cooperate with each other in bringing
true peace in the Asia Pacific region. At the same time, I
hope the No Gun Ri Peace Park can become a hub ofinternational peace movement and thus lead theenhancement of world peace. Thank you.

Jason Ditzian from San Francisco: “I believe that beauty
can heal the world and I hope to share this music and thehistory of these ancient bowls to enlighten audiences withthis message: that people from all around the world across all
religions, languages and time periods have in common hopes
and dreams for peace, love and happiness. I am very proud
to be here in ancient Samarkand, the crossroads of the GreatSilk road with thousands of years of rich heritage. I love
Uzbek music very much and I am very happy to work andstudy with Samarkand musicians, tasting local food, touring
the national heritage sites and making so many new friends. I
am having so many memorable experiences in this beautiful
country - the Republic Uzbekistan, which this year
celebrates the 20th anniversary of its independence. Please
accept my most sincere congratulations and best wishes forevery success in the future!”
The event was held within our Peace Museum’s permanent
project Beauty Will Save the World and it was supported by
the Samarkand City Department for Cultural and Sports
Affairs, Samarkand State Museums and Samarkand Collegeof Arts.

Women's Association in Iran, Tehran-based Society for
Chemical Weapons Victims Support and the Paydari Civic
Center, was the second such event to be held in Iran for thoseaffected by the tragic earthquake and tsunami that left
thousands dead in Japan, a Press TV correspondent inTehran reported on Thursday.

Prize-giving Ceremony of the Artistic Contest “War andCaptivity in Russia 1941-45 –soldiers' suffering and their wish and hope to live in
PEACE”
Salone Dehoniani – June 10, 2011

A group of 50 Japanese women living in Tehran were also
among the organizers of the charity bazaar that brought
Iranian and Japanese culture closer and became a venue fortalks on the hardships that Japanese people are enduringfollowing the disaster.

PROGRAM
Introduction: Projection of short-film “The War in Russia”
time 14'.
Brief presentation by Pietro Carulli, President of the
Association,and by Cav. Pietro Fabbris, war great disabled and UNIRR
past-president.

A vast array of Japanese cuisine and a great selection ofdishes from Iran, as well as an exquisite selection of Iranianproducts and handicrafts were put on display in the charity
bazaar as part of efforts to raise money for the victims.

Tina Levati: Welcome to all students and professors.
Welcome to all important persons attending, besides Mr.
Pietro Carulli and Cav. Pietro Fabbris, we have the greathonor of welcoming Dr. Maria Fratelli, Director-Curator of
Padiglione di Arte Contemporanea of Milan (Museum ofContemporary Art). Thank you also to Mr. Franco Morea(tenor-artist who was also a member of our Jury). We havereceived messages from two persons who have promised toarrive, their engagements permitting: Cav. Luisa Fusar Poli,UNIRR National President and Dr. Carlo Tognoli, past
Mayor of Milan. They both never knew their fathers whodied during the Russia war.

"After what happened in Japan in March, we decided to dosomething to help. This is not very big but it is our way toshow that we care," Ali Sharifian, the Executive Director of
Paydari Civic Center told Press TV.
"The money that is raised will be sent to some injured[people] located in the tsunami-hit areas by the association,"
said Kuniko Yamamura with Japanese Women's
Association in Iran.

Thank you boys and girls for your participation to thiscontest with your works of art. You have shown great
sensitivity and artistic skill, these are necessary tools in life
because when your mind and hands are engaged in creating
or in playing sports you stay far from arms and war. Double
advantage: in this way you also stay far from violent
videogames, smoke (not to mention drugs etc.), alcohol,
games of chance and other dangerous bad habits.

On Friday, a benefit concert on the sidelines of an art
exhibition in Tehran is expected to raise more funds for theJapanese victims.
On March 11, a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, off the northeast
coast of Japan's main island, unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter)
tsunami and was followed by more than 50 aftershocks forhours.

I told some of you, when I was allowed to speak in yourschool, that peace is a style of life which must be in yourminds and in your hearts; only if you really feel it you willgrow up men and women of peace, whom the world has
great need of. Not only we aged people are involved in thistheme. You have seen a young singer recently on TV:
Simone Cristicchi is playing a beautiful show “The Romanin Russia” to remember and honor his grandfather who wasin the Russia Campaign.

To melt the emotion a little bit I tell you a joke: a man isabout to die, so he calls his three sons near his bed and tells
them: I am leaving you ….. I am leaving you ….., They
think: he is leaving me his house, he is leaving me his money
etc.. but he concludes: I am leaving you my troubles!
No, I am not leaving troubles to my son Mario Fabio (who iscarrying on his grandfather's name, he is not here today
because he is visiting the United States), but I am leaving
him the engagement of carrying on the ideas of peace inmemory of his grandfather and of all the events that cannot
be forgotten.

You must be very proud because you are the first ones.
When the city of Milan will open a real Museum for Peace,and it will not be only virtual as now, we will exhibit yourartistic works. You will be able to say: “we have contributedwith our works to create an Art Museum for Peace”.

A nice short-film realized by a class of PACLE Manzoni(Foreign Languages High School) is named “Do not forget”.
For you and future generations it must mean DO NOTFORGET to remember and commemorate men and women
who suffered the pains of hell from wars. It must NOT mean
to make other people pay for them through other wars andviolences. Please stay away from violence of any colour.

Thanks to you, but many thanks go also to your teachers
who have nourished your souls. In fact we have only
proposed a subject, your professors have been capable ofinvolving your sensitivity in order that you could go deeply
and develop it by transforming it into a delicate andsignificant work of art.

BUILD A WORLD OF PEACE!

Anna Piccinini: Brief presentation of the 7th INMP

Boys and girls, I was moved by your works, some of them
have commemorated my father and all men to whom thiscontest is dedicated in the best way, because they suffered somuch and lost their lives from that absolute evil that war is. I
am sure that my daddy in Heaven is very happy to beremembered this way, he could not have been honored better,I felt him near me and he helped me during all preparation
work. Look at the destiny: we did not do it on purpose, but
the day when our Jury outlined the Prize classification was
Friday May 27, the right day of my father's centenary!

I am starting from the 16 Special Prizes which are allconsidered as 4th Prize.
Names of students and delivery of the 16 Special Prizes.
Now the 3rd Prize (2 ex-equo of 200 Euro each):− Plaster sculpture (positive and negative) “Thenegative side of War” goes to Luca Negri(Caravaggio Artistic High School)18

−Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, citizen representativesof Hiroshima, and Iraqi survivors of gas attacks against the
Iraqi Kurdish town of Halabja were among the participantsin the inaugural ceremony.
Many Iranian civil society representatives, peace activists,
war veterans, survivors of chemical weapons attacks, artists,
authors, and school children were also invited to the event
which was held in the conference hall of Tehran City Park
(Park-e-Shahr) where Tehran Peace Museum is located.
After short speeches by Mr Ayazi the Vice Mayor of
Tehran, Koichiro Maeda Director of Hiroshima Peace
Memorial Museum and the Shizuko Tsuya President a
Hiroshima NGO association from Hiroshima, the messageof Tehran Peace Museum was read by one of the Iraniansurvivors of chemical weapons attacks. Then all participants
marched towards the Peace Museum in the northern side of
the City Park to witness the planting of an olive tree byspecial guests while at the same time forty doves werereleased to mark the birth of yet another centre for fostering
peace. Finally Tehran Peace Museum was formallyinaugurated by the Vice Mayor of Tehran and Director of
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum followed by a tour ofthe Museum accompanied by all the guests.
The project for establishing Tehran Peace Museum wasinitiated in 2007 by the member of an Iranian NGO (Society
for Chemical Weapons Victims Support) and with thesupport of Tehran Municipality. Tehran Peace Museum had

Luca Grimaldi (Caravaggio).
Distribution of Key-rings: We really were in trouble whenchoosing and classifying your works of art, so weadvantaged those bearing more on the subject. The others areperhaps more representative of Peace in general, but they are
not less praiseworthy. I am now calling the Professors towhom a key-ring is given for each one of the following
students: …..
Presentation of Professors and delivery of key-rings. Again a
big THANK to the Profs.
One last thought as a conclusion: the subject was “War andcaptivity in Russia 1941-45 –soldiers' suffering and their wish and hope to live in
PEACE”. By destiny (it was not done on purpose, it was justthe addition of Jury's votes) prizes have gone:to the 3rd classified: painting of solitude and desperation in
captivity behind barbed wire and sculpture symbolizing thesufference (at negative) and the mask of snow and ice ofsoldiers in column toward the lagers (at positive);to the 2nd classified: death of a soldier from war; but
to the 1st classified: a man coming out from the dark of war,
his wish and hope with his hand stretched toward the blue of
PEACE.

We invite you to watch this 2 minute tour of the Museum.
Please do share your thoughts with us and we look forward
to welcoming you in person sometime soon.
