TOHO PEACE CHAIN Project
August 6 is the day of Peace in Japan, commemorated every year to honor Peace and those affected by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Team TOHO, a nonprofit organization comprised of wholesale and retail suppliers of TOHO Japanese seed beads, is sponsoring the PEACE CHAIN Project - a mile long chain of beaded rings to be stretched around the Mall of America on August 6, 2026.
Help SJBS contribute PEACE CHAIN rings to this awesome endeavor promoting worldwide peace!
Steps to participate:
- Make a chain of at least three (3) interconnected beaded rings with the free PEACE RING instructions on the web site under Member Resources or using any bead stitch you prefer. Note: only TOHO or MIYUKI Japanese seed beads can be used, and each ring of the chain must measure between 1 to 3 inches in diameter.
- Take a photo of your chain and send it to Lissa Atkins for posting on the SJBS Facebook Page: advertising@southjerseybeadsociety.org
- Submit your chain to Margo Kellner, SJBS Treasurer, at a monthly program until June 4 for inclusion in SJBS’ representation in this monumental expression of interconnectedness for world peace!
