Japan – Day 7: Hiroshima

Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall

Sadly some place names are synonymous with their disastrous events to such a degree that the evocation of the place name fails to suggest any other images.

Whilst the urge “to remember” (as often seen in connection with the Holocaust) is important, this is a shame as Hiroshima was such an enjoyable city in the spring sunshine.

The picture is the remains of the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotional Hall, one of the closest buildings to the “hypocenter” of the explosion.
