The World Peace Bell

What comes to your mind about a bell?
When I think about a bell, New year or Christmas come to my mind.
There is Jingle Bell, and when it gets New year, it's known by hitting a bell.
Like this, there are many kinds of bells in the world, and then, today, I'm going to do posting the Peace Bell.









The Peace Bell is in Hwacheon, Korea, and it's made by empty cartridges collected from conflict zones in the world.

So, the bell has hope for peace and life.
When this big bell is made by collected empty cartridges, it's said, the weight of this bell is 37.5 tons.
It means there were as many wars in each country.
I hope from now on, wars disappear that empty cartridges disappear too.
This bell has a special meaning that it's an unfinished bell yet.
There are 4 doves on it, and one of them doesn't have one wing.
It's said the wing would be attached when the unification of South and North Korea comes true, now the situation is so sad, but I hope the wing is attached soon.
