WIKIPEDIA
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...

This is the cover of an origami pack I have design to promote Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution (Kenpou Kyu Jou). The bird is called Kyu Chan and flaps if you pull its tail.
This peace movement started off as a one man campaign, giving out origami around japan as I finished my year tour of the island by bicycle. Now Im writting a book about it and going to appear on national TV on August 15 to comment on this important peace issue Japan is facing.
チャールズ・ワードが自転車で日本一周の旅へと出発したのは、2006年の春でした。彼は1年間の旅の間に、何千枚もの写真をとりました。この写真はその中の1つです。最初は有機農場でボランティアとして働きながら旅を続けていましたが、ある日、それをやめ、「きゅうちゃん」という名の折り紙の小鳥といっしょに、自分なりの平和活動を開始しました。
このチャーリーの冒険が、『チャーリーです地球人です』という一冊の本を生みました。彼は新たな世界を発見し、同時に、平和活動のために今やるべきことを明確にしました。
This photo is one of 1000s taken by Charles Ward as he cycled around Japan for a year (2006-2007). Half way though his trip he gave up working as a volunteer in organic farms to start his own peace movement with a little paper bird called Kyu Chan.
Follow Charlie in his adventure to change the world in his new book "Charlie desu, Chikyujin desu" and find out what he is doing now to promote peace.
