Peace Park
The Peace Park was established in 1955 near ground zero, where an atomic bomb
was dropped at 11:02 a.m. on August 9, 1945. The Peace Memorial Ceremony is
held in front of the statue on August 9 every year, during which the Mayor of
Nagasaki delivers the “Nagasaki Peace Declaration” to the world.
The Peace Fountain reminds us of the tragic scene unfolded shortly after America
dropped the Atomic bomb in Nagasaki at 11:02 am on Aug. 09, 1945.

The Peace Statue was completed in 1955, ten years after the atomic bombing.
The 9.7-meter-high statue sits on a 4-meter-tall pedestal and was created by
the renowned sculptor Kitamura Seibo, who was born in Minami-Shimabara,
Nagasaki Prefecture, in 1884. Its raised right hand points to the threat of nuclear
weapons, while the outstretched left hand symbolizes eternal peace.
