Nagasaki peace statue
lenareh > albums > Once Upon A Time in Japan
Album Info:
A 10-metre-tall Peace Statue created by sculptor Seibou Kitamura. The statue's right hand points to the threat of nuclear weapons while the extended left hand symbolises eternal peace. The mild face symbolises divine grace and the gently closed eyes offer a prayer for the repose of the bomb victims' souls. The folded right leg and extended left leg signify both meditation and the initiative to stand up and rescue the people of the world.

An unforgettable image, reminding us of the human capacity for violence and conflict - that often lead to tragedy on a grand scale. Nothing could be more horrifying than the events of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. This is an excellent entry.
