Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Hiroshima and Nagasaki Flame

Fri, August 6, 2010, by Muza-chan
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:
