Love & Peace Hiroshima ~ 広島

Today, August 6, is “Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Day,” 77 years after being exposed to radiation.
I believe that people should have their own ideas about war and nuclear weapons. However, the reason why I dare to write this article on this day is because I would like both foreigners and Japanese to actually go to the Peace Memorial Museum in front of the A-bomb Dome in Hiroshima once and think about what peace means to them.

Peace Memorial Park : located at the highest point of the delta where the old Ohta River (Honkawa River) splits into the Motoyasu River, and was established as a memorial to the victims of the atomic bomb and as a prayer for lasting world peace. This was the central downtown area of Hiroshima City from the Edo period (1603-1867) to the early Showa period (1926-1989), but it was instantly destroyed by the first atomic bomb dropped in human history on August 6, 1945. The park contains the Atomic Bomb Dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, a number of monuments erected in the hope of peace, and a blue-green algae that was exposed to the atomic bomb.

Atomic Bomb Dome
The Atomic Bomb Dome was the first building to be hit by a nuclear weapon used in human history at the end of World War II. The A-bomb Dome, which stands almost exactly as it was at the time of the bombing, conveys the horrors of nuclear weapons and is a common monument to peace for all mankind that continues to emphasize the importance of the abolition of nuclear weapons and lasting peace in the world.

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum
The Peace Memorial Museum collects and exhibits artifacts left behind by A-bomb survivors, as well as photographs and other materials showing the devastation caused by the atomic bombing.

Itsukushima Shrine, Miyajima
Itsukushima (Miyajima) is an island where the island itself has been worshipped as a god since ancient times. Itsukushima Shrine, which stands mysteriously in the sea, was registered as a World Heritage site in 1996. It is also a shrine that many people have believed in, and is a popular tourist attraction that attracts many visitors from Japan and other countries throughout the four seasons.

Okonomiyaki：a kind of “snack” made by mixing flour with water and baking it with green onions, dried shrimp, red ginger, and other ingredients. It was not until after World War II that it was eaten as a meal. To compensate for the lack of nutrients, some innovations were made, such as adding cabbage, eggs, seafood, soba noodles, and udon noodles as ingredients, and the Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki of today was born.
