After its presence here concludes\, the wishes are preserved and continue on in connection with the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER in Reykjavík\, Iceland\, to join the chorus of global citizens calling for peace. Portland Japanese Garden and Japan Institute\, which have a shared mission of Inspiring Harmony and Peace\, is honored to participate in this project that promotes peacemaking through culture\,  art\, and nature.\n\n\n\nLearn more about the Wish Tree in this video!\n\n\n\n\n
