A great geographical and cultural distance separates Japan from Argentina. However, Daisaku Ikeda, president of the International Soka Gakkai, and Adolfo Pérez Esquivel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, have managed to build a deep friendship, based on common affinities and values, in defense of human rights without borders or discrimination of any kind. Ikeda and Pérez Esquivel engage in dialogue on topics such as solidarity, the wisdom of peoples and women, resistance to totalitarianism, the search for effective action and the appreciation of different cultures, with the aim of finding a way to peace. The authors, through words and life examples, seek to convey to young people the value of energetic and passionate commitment to peace, hope and justice for their peoples and for all peoples on Earth.
