Wishing for peace. Nagasaki Peace Park

July 2018 #NagasakiTravel

#I first recognized the name Nagasaki when I heard that it was one of the two cities that were hit by the atomic bomb. Of course, there were places related to it in the city, and I couldn't help but stop by here. I got off the tram at Matsuyamamachi and found #NagasakiPeacePark.

I could see the air-raid shelters where people took refuge when the atomic bomb was dropped, and inside the park, there were various art pieces that yearned for peace. I read the information boards carefully, and although they didn't say it out loud, they seemed to be emphasizing that they had suffered a lot of damage. Of course, ordinary citizens suffered the pain of losing their daily lives because of the atomic bomb that suddenly fell. However, I can't deny that it was the fault of the government at the time who were trying to build the Empire of Japan... I felt complicated because they never apologized and only blamed others for the damage, or to put it harshly, they seemed to be cosplaying as victims.

Ironically, the blue sky seen here was so peaceful.
