Yokosuka Central Park was used as a "turret" during World War II. Therefore, we designed a monument of lighted turrets of peace. The pillars of light can be seen from a distance and remind us of our almost forgotten thoughts of peace in our daily lives. In the event of a disaster, the pillar of light will be lit up to guide citizens to the evacuation park. A circle, which has meant infinity since ancient times, is drawn by citizens with their wishes for peace and engraved on the monument. We have created a space that is filled with the circle of peace throughout the day and night.
