This year on the memorial of the A-bombing of Hiroshima, the Prime Minister of Japan, Kan, came and spoke about the future energy of Japan coming from other sources than nuclear. A move away from nuclear power is a big issue now in Japan in light of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in the Tohoku area which has displaced many people, been disaster for any local businesses that rely on a clean environment and has spread dangerous levels of radiation across the country.
There were many anti-nuclear protests on this day in Hiroshima, but there was also the needed remembrance of the lives that were lost on this day 66 years ago when the bomb was dropped.
In the evening, children decorate candles that are placed around the A-bomb dome and many people decorate paper lanterns which are then released down the Otagawa river that runs through Peace park in honor of those who lost their lives and in hopes of a more peaceful future for everyone in the world.
