The Japanese Peace Pagoda found at the end of #JungleBeach in #Unawatuna, #Galle. Built by the Japanese Nipponzan-Myōhōji order, it's designed to inspire peace and to provide a focus for people of all races and creeds, to help unite them in their search for world peace. #SriLanka has four peace pagodas. These were initially built as a symbol of #peace in the #Japanese cities of #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki where the U.S.A. deployed atomic bombs and killed over 150,000 civilians, at the end of #WorldWarII. By 2000, 80 Peace Pagodas had been built around the world in Europe, Asia, and the United States. Follow @mevanpeiris on Instagram
