The Japanese Peace Bell was donated to the United Nations by Japan in 1954 as a symbol of peace and hope for the world.
The bell is traditionally rung twice a year: on the first day of spring and on September 21st to mark the International Day of Peace.
The bell was cast using coins collected by children from 60 different countries, symbolizing global unity.
The bell is located in the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, in a serene garden setting.
The bell features traditional Japanese craftsmanship, with a lotus flower design symbolizing purity and enlightenment.
