During the summer 1990, Mel Zaid and 9 other USA artists--plus 10 artists each from Japan, Germany and other European areas--were given blank books with "GOD" on the front and in Japanese on the back.

The Age of Gods
In the old times, on the earth, there was the Age of Gods,
The Gods' Love filled the earth with peace,
--- There are such legends, which are left all around the world.
The legends also say that after Gods had scattered far away,
the Age of Darkness had come around.
And according to the legends, when Gods went apart,
they promised each other,
"At the beginning of the New Cycle,
meet us at the center of the Universe",
"Next time, meet us at the center of the universe!"
Today, all the stars in the sky, and all the people on the earth,
start talking about the beginning of the New Cycle.
How can we live in harmony?
What is peace?
How can we keep peace forever?
Here comes the time when Gods meet again.
"Meet us at the Center of the Universe"
Wish you have a sacred journey.
