Sanno Shrine is located approximately 800 meters away from the ground zero of Atomic bomb. The Shrine was instantly obliterated by the explosion and the 4000 degrees Celsius heat wave vaporized nearby trees. The only thing that remained is the Torii gate standing on a single column, reminding us of the tragedy that took place.     The surviving trees of Sanno Shrine have become another living demonstration of destruction and re-growth. Two large camphor trees were scorched, burned and stripped of all leaves by the Atomic bomb’s shock wave; and yet, despite everything, the trees survived. The surviving camphor trees are now a symbol of World Peace.
