A tree that was burnt by the atomic bomb but sprouts from its roots and reaches all the way to the roof of the shrine.
The camphor tree in the grounds of Shirajinja Shrine was 490 meters from the hypocenter when the bomb hit. The part of the tree growing above ground was burned, but it sprouted from its base and has now grown so large that it can reach the roof of Shirajinja Shrine.
