Peace

On the grounds of Tokushima Castle in Tokushima Central Park you can see the Children's Peace Memorial Statue. The base was build from small stones and pebbles collected by the local children. The 16th century castle is a ruin dating back to the Meiji Restoration (1868) when ~2,000 castles were destroyed as they were viewed as symbols of the previous ruling elite. Shikoku Island, Japan.
