The bell tower, which is the focus of the project, is positioned at the center of the garden to symbolize the North Pole. The trees and rocks surrounding the bell tower symbolize the continents surrounding the North Pole, explained Abe. "It is well known that the United Nations flag is the map of the world, looking at the globe from above the North Pole," he said. I decided to use this flag for the design concept of the garden design and express the world in this rectangular site."
The Peace Bell itself, which is cast from coins and metals donated from 60 countries, was presented to the United Nations in June 1954 by the United Nations Association of Japan.
