In the garden around the UN headquarters in New York there is a Japanese-style bell. It is the Peace Bell. It was donated by the Japanese Chiyoji Nakagawa in 1954. Nakagawa collected gold coins from all over the world and melted them into a single bell that would be “a symbol of hope for world peace by all humankind, regardless of nationality, race, political ideology or religion”.
