The 10th Memorial Demonstration for the War Dead
On Sunday, October 27, 2024, we held the 10th Memorial Demonstration for the War Dead at Peace Memorial Park in Itoman. Under a clear sky, 85 people from 10 dojos gathered before the Flame of Peace. They performed karate to honor the souls of the war dead and to pray for lasting peace, so that war never happens again.
