Hiroshima Calling!!

We need to know how to be centered!!

History is teaching us what we've done, some were good and some were bad.
We really don't know what is truth for God.
I believe that we do our best whatever we do with our faith.
This is only way that I can be as Ken Koshio to be realaxed here.

I want to be love instead of asking someone to love me.
It is not easy for me, however it is worth to try to do.
Because I want to be loved instead of hated by people around me.

I want to live in Peace and Love.
So, if I could be love itself, it is already existing here.
So, if I could be love, I must be in peace.
So, if you could be love, you must tell me what love is without words.
Because you are love itself.
I feel you as love, I understand what love is.
Because you are real as love.

I want to be love.

You want to be love.

We want to be love.

Someday, we are going to love itself.

We must be in Peace, with peace.

Because we know what love is.

Because we are love.

Thanks for you as who you are.

See you tomorrow!!

“HIROSHIMA CALLING”

Promoting peace and education through art and cultural exchange.

There are only two cities that experienced the Atomic Bomb - Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. These two cities have offered Atomic Bomb poster exhibits to every state in the US through the end of 2008.

The Arizona exhibit, “Hiroshima Calling” is sponsored by WYVEAA (World Youth Visit Exchange Association of Arizona, 501c-3) in Collaboration with local artist and musician Ken Koshio. Hiroshima Calling has been gifted two poster exhibits that will visit Arizona at five different locations October through November, 2008.

The Indigenous Preservation Society of Hiroshima, a traditional taiko music group founded by Itsuki Munakata, will accompany the posters adding a unique, artistic and historic perspective to the exhibit. Mr. Munakata is a survivor (Hibakusha) of the Atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima August 6, 1945 - he was just 6 years old at the time. He will bring 3 members of his taiko troupe from Japan to share traditional taiko music and Hiroshima tunes with the people of Arizona. There will be many highlights along the way, including a unique collaboration with Native American and Arizona artists near the Grande Canyon. It is important to note that Mr. Munakata is a well known Shinto Priest, and NOH artist, recognized across Japan.

It is said that the uranium used to make the Atomic bomb that was dropped on Japan was taken from Native lands of Northern Arizona. It is of great historical importance for an Atomic bomb survivor to visit this place and to connect with the people of Arizona through art and culture. This exhibit provides an opportunity to share and to recognize our past while making a prayer for peace and hope for the youth of today that will carry us tomorrow.

This travelling exhibit will be full of life and energy that will captivate the audience. Please come to see this exhibit and to share this experience together. For more information, please contact Ken Koshio at: 602-412-7781 or kenkoshio@hotmail.com

There are many people helping to organize this exhibit and we still need your support, in time, in kind, and in dollars.
