A Japan Photo per Day

Hiroshima and Nagasaki Flame

Aug 6, 2010 | 62 feedbacks »

65 years ago, at 8:15, the first atomic bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. Several days later, Tatsuo Yamamoto went to Hiroshima searching for a relative, but he found only a flame from the bombing, burning in the ruins.
The flame still burns at the Toshogu Shrine, Ueno:
