    The Bell of Nagasaki

    October 24, 2023 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

    I’m not sure the full story behind this sculpture, but it’s called the Bell of Nagasaki, and is meant to symbolize a desire for peace.

    Every year on August 9th at 11:02, the time of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, churches and temples throughout Nagasaki ring their bells.

    It must be very moving!
