Gardens for Peace 2021 at the Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix
Gardens for Peace (G4P) brings communities together in Japanese gardens to promote peace. The Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix Arizona participated in the North American Japanese Garden Association's (NAJGA) peace project along with many other Japanese Gardens across North America in 2021. We partnered with a local community nonprofit, Free Arts, which helps bring peace to kids who have been through trauma or have been abused.
Through the warm inclusion of community organizations in this project, the North American Japanese Garden Association aims to bring Japanese Gardens and local community members together through G4P to inspire inner peace by connecting with others around us who are working towards peace.
G4P’s precursor, Patterns for Peace, brought together five karesansui gardens in 2020. The gardens raked a peace pattern designed by Hiroshima-based artist, Toshiko Tanaka, a peace activist and A-bomb survivor. Her pattern represents "heiwa", or peace in Japanese.
G4P exists to encourage the exploration of Japanese arts and culture firsthand through the common theme of promoting peace, a long-time thread in Japanese Gardens historically. NAJGA and JFG aim to continue expanding the scope of our project and encourage even more gardens and communities to explore Japanese arts and culture for the purpose of peace together.
