Tadao Ando “In today’s increasingly fragmented world, we need
to reacquaint ourselves with the fact that we all live together on one single
planet. That is why I have used this particular message. To achieve ‘The
Earth is One,’ it is vital that each one of us thinks very carefully about
what we, as individuals, can do for society.”
Urbanist, Architect / Founded Tadao Ando Architect & Associates in 1969.
Became a professor at the University of Tokyo in 1997 and professor emeritus
in 2003. His many works include Japan Pavilion for Expo ‘92, Church of the
Light, Osaka Prefectural Chikatsu Asuka Museum, Awaji Yumebutai, Hyogo
Prefectural Museum of Art, Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Punta della
Dogana, and Bourse de Commerce. |

simple. The repeated call for PEACE FOR ALL represents the feelings and
voices of many people worldwide. It expresses a strong and heartfelt desire
for a peaceful world.”

INES DE LA FRESSANGE
“Today designers and fashion brands must be generous and think firmly
about the world and about humanity. I believe people will enjoy participating
in this new and ongoing commitment and in expressing their views about peace
in such a pacific way. Don’t you want to wear this T-shirt?”
Model and designer / Ines de la Fressange started her
career at the age of 17 as a model. A much-loved muse for multiple top
fashion houses, she remains a symbolic style icon in the world of fashion to
this day. In 2013, she re-launched her own brand, INES DE LA FRESSANGE PARIS,
and continues to embody the concept of French chic as a creative director. |

Haruki Murakami
“I just wanted to be of some
use (maybe not much, but still). I think it would be nice to create a world
in which people, and cats, can live in peace.”
Novelist / Born in 1949 in Kyoto Prefecture. Debuting
in 1979 with Hear the Wind Sing, Murakami’s major works include Norwegian
Wood, Kafka on the Shore, and 1Q84. His work has been translated into
different languages all over the world and received multiple prizes, including
the Franz Kafka Prize. He has also translated many of the books that
influenced him the most, including The Great Gatsby and Catcher in the Rye.
He has seen Harper more times than any other movie, and also loves the novel
it was based on. |

Shinya Yamanaka
“I took part because I wanted
to do something useful as an individual in addition to promoting research as
a physician-scientist. The ability of science and technology to change the
world for the better is entirely dependent on the people who use it. So, I
added the message ‘Humanity must progress.’ “
Physician-Scientist / Dr. Shinya Yamanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Physiology or Medicine in 2012 for successfully generating induced
pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from skin cells. He is a professor at the Center
for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA) at Kyoto University, the
Representative Director of the CiRA Foundation, and a Senior Investigator at
the Gladstone Institutes in the United States. |
