Tanka poems against the war

For the world with Nuclear Ban Treaty

The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) has entered into force.

To celebrate the possibility of the world without nuclear weapons, I would like to share one of my tanka poems and drawings from Flowers and Bombs.

Collect warheads of
A drawing from Flowers and Bombs

Nuclear missiles on the earth

Send them to Jupiter

'Cause peach trees will be blooming

Next spring on the brown planet

核弾頭を集めて送ろう木星に

春には桃の花が咲くから

(Original tanka poem in Japanese)

The future is made of your dreams and hopes.

Let's make it happen.
