The iconic skeleton of the Genbaku Dome, epicentre of Hiroshima’s atomic bomb blast is now part of a Peace Memorial Park, dedicated to the legacy of the bombing. Genbaku Dome has been left in disrepair as a reminder of the damage nuclear weaponry can do, but other buildings in the complex house exhibitions and artefacts from the nuclear attack and from Hiroshima pre and post bombing. A statue of Sadako Sasaki, of the thousand paper cranes, which collects more cranes daily sent from all over the world stands near the Peace Bell, a vast bell visitors are encouraged to ring as a prayer for world peace, and the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound under which the ash remains of 70,000 unidentified bomb victims lie is beside the Peace Flame, which will remain burning until all the world’s nuclear weapons have been destroyed.
