The 8th International Exhibition for Peace
International Exhibition for Peace[Creating Peace to feel Peace]

The base color of Mrs. Horimoto's paintingas is blue, which is called "Blue for prayer". Her pieces of work convey reluxation, hope and message for peace directly to the heart of viewers independent of their race, nationality and religion.

A French gentleman had a chance to look at her paintings, and he wanted to inroduce her work-pieces to his country. This resulted in the Personal Exhibition of Mrs, Horimoto at the Army Headquaters of Nante in November and December, 2002.

Subsequently, First International Exhibition for Peace(IEP)/Emiko Horimoto Exhbition was held in Kosovo during March and April of 2003, while the civil war had not yet ceased. Mrs. Horimoto was first artist from Japan in Kosovo.

After an exhibition tour in Kosovo, IEP came to Hibiya, Tokyo in June, 2003 under the title of "Kosovo/International Exhibition for Peace".

Later, IEP had another tour to Paris, France from Novenber 27 to December 7, 2003 and also to St GILLES CROIX DE VIE, a small town of France from April 9 to May 3, 2004.

This is 8th IEP where we are presenting a part of Mrs. Horimoto's paintings which took tour to Kosovo and France, some of her new works, and also paintings of Kosovian artists, together with the special exhibition of Kosovian children who suffered again from the military attack in March, 2004.
