What is the Peace Pole Project?
The Peace Pole Project is a global initiative that was started by Masahisa Goi in 1955. There are an estimated 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world dedicated as monuments to peace. After witnessing the devastation left in World War II, and the dropping of atomic bombs in Japan, Goi dedicated himself to promoting peace and harmony on earth.The message, “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” came to him in a moment of prayer and inspiration. Peace Poles inscribed with this message began to appear across Japan, and the message spread by means of the Peace Pole Project. This project made its way to the USA in 1986, “The International Year of Peace.”Peace Poles are now recognized as the most prominent international symbol and monument to peace. They remind us to think, speak, and act in the spirit of peace and harmony. They stand as a silent visual for peace to prevail on earth.
