Hiroshima

Ota River runs through Hiroshima. People fled to this river to cool their burning bodies: a reminder of death in Hiroshima.

A-bomb survivor and sculptor.  He helped design Peace Park and showed us around Hiroshima.

We took a boat ride down the river closests to ground zero.  Many people fled to the river to cool their burning bodies. The tree to the left is an a-bomb tree.  All trees that survived the bomb have a tag on them.
