    Children's Peace Monument

    The inscription on the monument reads:
    "This is our cry, this is our prayer: for building peace in the world"

    After Sasaki's death her friends & schoolmates published a collection of letters in order to raise funds to build a memorial to her and all of the children who had died from the effects of the atomic bomb. In 1958, a statue of Sasaki holding a golden crane was unveiled in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.

    Children's Peace Monument

    It is a monument for peace to commemorate Sadako Sasaki & the thousands of child victims of the atomic bombing.

    She was two years of age when the bomb was dropped & was severely irradiated.
    She is remembered through the story of the more than one thousand origami cranes she folded before her death which she folded to get one wish granted:
    To be healthy again!
    She died at the age of 12.

  16. Flame of Peace

    The base represents hands clasped together & palms spread open to the sky, comforting the victims who desperately sought water & expressing a wish for the abolition of nuclear weapons and lasting world peace.
    This flame has been burning ever since it was lit in 1964, and is a symbol of the anti-nuclear wish to "keep burning until the day nuclear weapons disappear from the earth."

  26. The Bell of Peace

    On its surface a world map without national boundaries symbolising "one world" is embossed. The place where the log hits the bell shows the atomic energy symbol, expressing hope for the abolition of atomic and hydrogen bombs. On the opposite side is a mirror to reflect the heart of the person who rings the bell.

    I wonder how many more children, teens & adults have to ring this bell to be heard?!

  36. 8:15 a.m. on 6 August 1945, the first atomic bomb ever used in war was dropped on Hiroshima. The bomb obliterated the city of Hiroshima. It exploded directly over Shima Hospital. Over 140.000 people were killed.

  41. This little Jizo statue survived the Atomic Bomb.
    Directly below the atomic bomb explosion, the temperature reached 3,000 degrees, causing human bodies and wooden buildings to catch fire and burn, and the blast hit just a few seconds later.

    The heat rays of the atomic bomb hit the Jizo statue almost directly above, so the sides and shaded areas are smooth, but the surface of the other parts is rough.
