Day 4: Hiroshima - this is the primary memorial to ALL the victims of the bomb (estimated to be between 90,000 and 160,000). It's a Cenotaph (memorial stone) sheltered by a large concrete arch. The arch is intended to represent shelter for the victims. It sure looked like a covered wagon to our American eyes. The building at the left with the vertical windows is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, which details what Hiroshima was like before the attack, the devastation the attack caused, and the efforts by the city ever since to promote peace.
