The Spirit Behind Heiwa Matsuri

The spirit behind Heiwa Matsuri

Heiwa Matsuri is a peace movement, but it is also a festival — and above all, we want everyone who takes part to enjoy it.

One of our visions is to make September 21, the International Day of Peace, a public holiday — using Heiwa Matsuri as an opportunity for people around the world to think about peace.

Just as more and more companies are now embracing the SDGs, we hope that engagement with September 21 will spread across the world in the same way.

By then, we believe the word “HEIWA” will have become a universal word.
