 English Translation of My 200-Letter Diary by Yoshiharu Taka


Today was a day of reflection on peace. I attended the second part of the “Summer Talks Traveling to World Peace” held this afternoon at Hinoharu Gakusha (the former Hinoharu Elementary School) and listened to a lecture by photographer Ms. Ayumi Takagi. Ms. Takagi traveled with her daughter through the Middle East and Europe for 110 days, interviewing many refugees in the pursuit of world peace. Through her lecture, I was glad to hear directly from Ms. Takagi about the importance of discarding prejudice and how she has personally met with refugees and others to achieve this understanding.
