“Hiroshima au delà de l'épicentre” 

August 6, 2015.

now in it’s 72nd year.

i really hope that Japan, will become the leading country to fight against any nuclear weapon threats and the nation that takes the courage to demand to those nuclear weapon holding countries to have them reduce the amount, and that someday, guide this world to a nuke-free, no-weapons, war-less planet. would like to wish and demand this deeply from the heart.

07.12.15~07.13.15 Hiroshima/Miyajima

Visited the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima. I will admit that I did not have much knowledge of the atomic bomb attack prior to visiting Hiroshima, but walking through the museum, you really are able to feel the devastating effects of that fateful day in 1945.

The next day was spent on Miyajima, an island a short ferry ride away from Hiroshima. It is known for its “floating” torii gate, but because I arrived in the afternoon, I had to wait a few hours until high tide so that the water rose above the bottom of the torii gate.
