Our singular goal on this planet is to take care of others, especially innocent children. Unfortunately, in the last century, we as a society have become more cruel than ever before.

A watch frozen forever at 8:15am, the moment an atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima on Monday August 6th 1945.

Everyone inside the Promotion Hall, which was almost at the epicenter of the blast, was killed instantly.

Following the city's destruction the hall was scheduled for demolition, but in 1966 it was decided that the renamed 'Atomic Bomb Dome' (原爆ドーム) would become a memorial.

all alone
in silence at the dome,
Hiroshima Day
黙然とひとりドームにヒロシマ忌
-Shigemoto Yasuhiko (重本泰彦).

Perhaps the most iconic anti-nuclear symbol of our times, the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall was built in 1915 and was immortalized on August 6th 1945.

The Atomic Bomb Dome and Peace Flame -which will burn until nuclear disarmament- as seen through the Memorial Cenotaph (慰霊碑).

The epitaph reads:
安らかに眠って下さい 過ちは 繰返しませぬから
'Rest in Peace, for the error shall not be repeated'
-Saika Tadayoshi (雑賀忠義).

With the recent film Oppenheimer it became a fresh memory again. It may seem long ago, but 78 years ago today, the world's first atomic bomb was dropped over Hiroshima Japan. I visited it in 1988 and I can still see the images of the devastation it caused in the city, the destruction of buildings and of people who were around at the time of the explosion. Has it brought world peace? And would we ever want to use this again?
