The Flame of Peace in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is a powerful symbol of the city’s commitment to nuclear abolition.Lit on August 1, 1964, the flame has been burning continuously ever since, with the pledge that it will remain lit until the very last nuclear weapon on Earth is destroyed. The pedestal, designed by Kenzō Tange, represents two hands joined and reaching skyward, offering comfort to the bomb victims who desperately cried out for water. Located on the central axis of the park, the flame is a stark and eternal reminder of the devastation of 1945 and a clear visual declaration of the global desire for permanent world peace.
