Mission of the Centre “Ikuo Hirayama” is to spread in Bulgaria, and especially among young generation, the idea of Preserving Cultural Heritage and Balkan and World Peace after the Movement For World Peace through “The Red Cross Spirit for Cultural Heritage”, established officially by Professor Ikuo Hirayama in Japan during the 80-thies of the 20-th century. The Centre “Ikuo Hirayama” develops art of making contacts between Bulgarian and Japanese Schools in learning about National Cultural Heritage and representing it, each side to the other one, through children’s eyes and different art forms.
The first School for Arts and Cultural Dialog “Ikuo Hirayama” in Bulgaria, starts on 15 October 2009. It is devoted to the idea of Preserving Cultural Heritage and Balkan and World Peace, and based on Sofia School “Vasil Zlatarski” and its Club of Japanese Friends, established in 2004.
The Japanese great public figure and painter, the UNESCO Ambassador of Goodwill Professor Ikuo Hirayama is Honorary President of the Centre “Ikuo Hirayama”. He has traveled and rediscovered The Silk Road in hundreds of his paintings, and spread his Mission For World Peace through “The Red Cross Spirit for Cultural Heritage” along it. And The Silk Road has gradually turned into a symbol of Ikuo Hirayama’s Mission, as it has always been: the means, real and symbolic, by which for many centuries East and West not only traded in silk and other precious goods, but exchanged religious and philosophical ideas and styles of art in the very special art of living together.
