Symbol of a spiritual and cultural movement aiming to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and war
Date of construction: September 20, 1964 It was erected by the ``Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Victims Hiroshima Wish Crystal Association'' as a symbol of the spiritual and cultural movement, aiming to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and war. On the surface of the bell (work by the late Masahiko Katori (Living National Treasure)), a map of the world without borders is embossed, symbolizing ``the world is one.'' The emblem is an atomic symbol symbolizing the prohibition of atomic and hydrogen bombs, and on the other side is a mirror that reflects the mind of the person wearing it. The famous Oga lotus, which Professor Ichiro Oga dug out and germinated from a 2000-year-old seed from a ruin in Chiba City, is planted in the pond. At the time of the atomic bombing, a survivor said that he covered his wounds with lotus leaves to relieve the pain of burns.
