This is a memorial tower for the students who died in the atomic bombing during World War II. As the war situation worsened, the Japanese military forced all junior high school students and above throughout Japan to work as a last resort. There were many such students here in Hiroshima, and over 6,000 children were killed by the atomic bomb. In the middle is the Statue of Peace. I hope that there will be no more wars in the world and that everyone will be able to live freely and in peace. This memorial tower is located on the south side of the Atomic Bomb Dome, which is registered as a World Heritage Site.

This is the Children’s Atomic Bomb Statue in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan. The model girl is Sadako Sasaki. She died of leukemia caused by the atomic bomb. During her battle with the disease, she folded paper cranes in the hope of curing her illness. It was this girl who inspired the paper crane to become a symbol of peace.

This is a statue of Kinjiro Ninomiya, who is very famous in Japan. This statue is located in Konpira Park, but it is often installed at old elementary schools. Born in 1787, he was famous for the story of how he studied while collecting firewood in his childhood, which led to the statue being made.
