Nagasaki Peace Park

Nagasaki Peace Park is a park located in Nagasaki, Japan, commemorating the atomic bombing of the city on August 9, 1945. The park features the 10-meter-tall Peace Statue created by sculptor Seibo Kitamura, which represents a mixture of western and eastern art, religion, and ideology. A black marble vault in front of the statue contains the names of the atomic bomb victims and survivors who died in subsequent years. The park also features a "Fountain of Peace", a "Plaque" titled "Words from the Sculptor", and a "Peace Symbols Zone" with monuments from different countries around the world, including the Monument for Korean Atomic Victims. Every year, on August 9, a Peace Memorial Ceremony is held in front of the statue, attended by the Mayor of Nagasaki, who delivers a Peace Declaration to the World.learn more on wikipedia
