ウクライナの子どもたちへ希望を届けよう
アートを通じて共に癒やしを
心から心へ
Healing together through art.
From heart to heart.
ロシアのUkraine軍事侵攻から１年半。
今もなお、この戦争が続いていることに絶望しかありません。
目を覆う惨状に絶望を感じていた時、
ウクライナにある伝統的なモタンカ人形と出合いました。
古くから受け継がれているモタンカ人形に、スピリット、強さを感じました。
テーマは「アートを通して共に癒しを 心から心へ」です。

総勢100人が作ったモタンカを展示します。
様々な人の愛で次ぐモタンカ展を通じて一緒に希望を届けませんか？

Dear Motanka Masters,
With deep gratitude and admiration, we thank you for sharing your extraordinary art and the profound spirit of your culture with us through the 100 Motanka for Peace exhibition (2023–2024).
Each thread, knot, and detail in your dolls carries not only your skill and creativity but also a message of resilience, hope, and love. Through your art, you have not only preserved tradition but also touched hearts across borders and brought light to children living in the shadows of war.
Your contribution is more than artistic; it is an act of solidarity, a bridge of understanding, and a symbol of unwavering courage.
As we step into 2025, we carry your vision with us – a world where children can play without fear, where homes are filled with laughter instead of sirens, and where every hand can create freely without trembling.
May peace and freedom be our shared reality in the coming year.
With heartfelt thanks and unwavering hope,
The 100 Motanka for Peace Team
The power of connection through love “aitsugi" has made this exhibition possible.
It is shocking that another major war would occur in the 21st century…
My eyes have been full of tears for more than a year because of the atrocities and crimes
committed by Russian invaders against the innocent civilians in Ukraine.
Just as the feeling of despair and helplessness started to consume me I encountered the traditional Motanka dolls and felt their spirit and strength.
Little did I know at that time about the power, strength, resilience and love of those masters who make them and Marina who collected them.
Thanks to them and Marina this exhibition came into being.
From this experience the theme of the exhibition was born: Healing together through art. From heart to heart.

The tradition of Motanka talisman dolls has been passed down for generations in Ukraine.
With a deep wish for peace, a total of 100 Motanka will be exhibited, including those made by Ukrainian masters,
people in Japan and abroad, and children who are now in Ukrainian shelters.
Won’t you join us in delivering hope through this Motanka exhibition, which represents the power of love, care, and connection.
