Sadako’s statue

This is our cry, this is our prayer:Peace in the World

The remains of the dome

The horror

A habaksha’s voice

When I passed by a streetcar. I stepped inside and saw corpses. I saw a slight movement,

I heard a tiny voice “water,water”. I got out and looked for water. I saw none…

Thirty years later, I keep wishing I could have found water for that person.

I talk about it with my loved ones and join my hands in prayer. Kenichi Nakano - Survivor

“Aaahhh!”

Her daughter was alive, and yet, in the end, Mother failed to make a hole large enough to save her.

Give me back my Father Give me back my Mother

Give me back my GrandparentsGive me back my Children

Give me back Myself Give me back my People

As long as men live in this world Immutable peace

Bring back peace

Mound of ashes

Let all the souls here rest in peace; For we shall not repeat the evil.

Bell of peace

Shinichi’s Tricycle

Blue Flower… growth

Peace memorial and eternal flame

However, Hiroshima

Is where the Japanese people

Recovered their lives-

On top of devastation, green buds

Sprouted with

Hopes and courage

In the after –

Math of late September 1945

Among the charred ruins

HIROSHIMA rebuilt …

They said that for 75 years nothing will grow—

Butterfly… life continues

Like a Phoenix

Two rivers meet in one place,

Devastated, desolate and barren it once was,

But like the Phoenix, Hiroshima rose

Out of the ashes, out of the hatred.

Today it stands-a testament for all to see.

Peace is attainable, it is a hope,

a reality that could be.

Dos rios cruzan en un vacio,

Drestrozado, desplobado, y sin vida

Pero como el Phoenix, Hiroshima resucito

Fuera de los escombros, de la oscurida y el odio.

Hoy vive-un testamento para todos ver

La paz es posible, es una esperanza,

una realidad que puede ser.

The dome … the future

It was not me

I have no memory

of when or how

why or to whom

Now…

It is me

My children and those

Who come after

For Now…

I have seen

heard

wept

Now, I shall tell…

…peace prevail.

Sunset … another day

Miracles

Push through the earth

now

We will never

be buried

A sprout seeks the sun

As each restores

their burnt souls

Life

knows the way to repair
