オノ・ヨーコ 《Wish Trees for Peace》 1996年/2008年 Installation view, Akasaka Hikawa Shrine, Tokyo, Japan, 2008 Photo by Jon Hendricks. Courtesy of Yoko Ono

《Wish Tree》は、オノ・ヨーコが世界中で続けている参加型の作品シリーズです。人々は短冊に個人の願いを書いて木の枝に結びます。これまで100万個以上の願い札が集められ、すべてアイスランドにあるIMAGINE PEACE TOWERのWishing Wellに保存されています。

東日本大震災の津波により倒壊転倒した姿のまま残る旧女川交番は、未来に生きる人々が同じ悲しみを味わうことのないようにとの願いが込められた震災の遺構です。この場所で、あなたの願いを短冊に書いて木に結んでください。震災の記憶と海と空、人々の願いを湛えた椿の木が一つの風景になります。
