As mortals we pray to God and Buddha to give us the strength and courage to stand up to adversity, and for the joy and opportunity that arises from the confluence of life.
When conducting 'rakugaki art' workshops with children around the world based on the themes of "peace", "hometown" and "future", it occurred to Unissograff artist ca37 that the very presence of children is a divine force, God and Buddha, bringing joy to adults and helping lead society to tomorrow.
"Shingon Park - Birth of Buddha" is a bold composition featuring a "gokosho" (a traditional gilted mace with five prongs on each end which is used in Buddhist services), and depicts the moment that Buddha was born.
It was exhibited at the International Art Exhibition Art Maison 2019 in Paris and Osaka.
"Shingon Park - Birth of Buddha" is an artistic representation of the solacing sacred chants of the Shingon sect monks, as captured in "Mt Koya, Light of 1200 years".
The striking artwork features a collage of the 'pictures of home' drawn by children living in the minefield regions of Cambodia, the painted footprints of children in Uganda as they took part in a local folk dance, and many pictures drawn by children living around Mt Koya on the theme of 'the future fifty years from now'.

Unissograff™ generates funding to support the education and well-being of children in the minefield villages of Cambodia, and the social rehabilitation of young people who were engaged as child soldiers in the civil conflicts of Uganda.
Currently all donations generated by artwork created from the rakugaki drawings made by children in Cambodia and Uganda are made to Terra Renaissance, an officially certified NPO organisation based in Kyoto which stations its people on the ground in the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Republic of Uganda to actively support the people of these aforementioned areas.
This way we know that our donations are 100% used for the purpose with which they were intended, supporting the areas they were intended for.
Certified NPO Terra Renaissance was established in October 2001 with the aim of "realizing a society (world peace) where all lives can exist in safety and peace".
Terra, means "earth" in Latin, while Renaissance refers to "regeneration, reconstruction" in English. The name "Terra Renaissance" therefore represents "revival and revitalisation."
They aim to address the four issues of "land mines", "small weapons", "child soldiers", and "peace education" by simultaneously operating international cooperation at sites around the world while conducting enlightenment and proposal activities in Japan.
