Is the human race condemned to destroy itself with its own weapons of mass destruction? Kazuaki Tanahashis persuasive answer is no, but to go from a death-driven society to a society that protects life requires reenvisioning the future so that we can learn to live peacefully in the present moment. Using stories, poems, and his own art, Tanahashis Painting Peace contributes to that conversion.
Jim Forest, author of The Root of War Is Fear: Thomas Mertons Advice to Peacemakers
This book is world-treasure. Its clear and elegant prose welcomes the reader into the most remarkable life of artist, Zen teacher, and peace and antinuclear activist, Kazuaki Tanahashi. The true-life stories are fascinating and instructive, showing how creativity emerges at the intersection of the personal and the political, the historical and the timeless. Each short chapter is a gift of beauty, wisdom, and compassion, and all in service of a sustainable and flourishing humanity and the wider Earth community.
Sean Kelly, author of Coming Home: The Birth and Transformation of the Planetary Era
Inspiring, fascinating, tenacious, and creative, these stories from Kazs life as an artist, scholar, and activist offer the reader so many ways to enter the sphere of compassionate social responsibility. Its as if Kaz is sitting with the reader, coaching us to experience the potential and joy of creative problem-solving in the world of peace and environmental activism. There are brushes built, panels convened, symphonies composed, songs and poems written. Reading this is like taking a longa lifelongpilgrimage with a wise, compassionate man, an artist who drinks in the joys and sorrows of the world.

How do we bring about a large-scale social transformation? How do we reverse the direction of the human race toward a collective suicide? How do we respond to systematic violence nonviolently? How do we help nations to effectively dismantle and abolish their military forces?
A vision of the future is drawn with our imagination, which may be seen as a brush that depicts dreams, hopes, and predictions for forthcoming as well as faraway days. You have a brush, and I have another. In fact, every one of us has a formless brush with boundless capacity.
What you draw may be different from what I draw in color and shape, or in theme and tone. And yet, there must be similarities. It is humbling to realize that the brush that leads my thoughts and actions for social transformation is one of the millions and billions of brushes at work in the world.
