This bronze bell was designed in Oak Ridge and cast in Japan in 1993 to serve as a symbol of the bonds of friendship and mutual regard that have developed between Oak Ridge and Japan over the past fifty years…Friendship made so much more meaningful because of the terrible conflict of World War II which Oak Ridge played such a significant role in ending. This bell further serves as a symbol of our mutual longing and pledge to work for freedom, well-being, justice, and peace for all the people of the world in the years to come.

Given to the people of Oak Ridge on the occasion of their 50th birthday by the Oak Ridge Community Foundation and Friends in the United States, Japan, and other nations.

Oak Ridge, Tennessee
Born of war,
living for peace,
growing through science.

1996

Bissell Park, Oak Ridge, Anderson County Tennessee
