This is a wooden torii - a gate to a shinto
shrine.

This is a photograph of a stone torii that
was broken in half by the bomb blast in 1945. The photo was
taken a few days after it happened.
|
|
This is what the torii looks like today. The
"One-Legged Torii" is a silent symbol of the horror of that
day.
|
|
Folded paper cranes are left on the remains
as a symbol of peace.
