Monument for Peace

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. From the underground air raid shelter of Kinshodo Book Store (at former 25 Kawaya-cho, Hiroshima) that had been burnt down, Mr. Tatsuo Yamamoto took a still flickering flame and brought it to Hoshino Village, his home village. Since then, Mr. Yamamoto had privately preserved it as a light for consoling the souls of the victims and as a light of guidepost for a world peace. And on August 6, 1968, it was solemnly handed over to Hoshino Village and has been kept to this day.

In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the atomic bomb, we herewith have built the "Monument for Peace" to pray for the everlasting peace of the world and for the souls of the atomic bomb victims that they may rest in peace.

March, 1995 Hoshino Village
