The Statue for Peace in Nagasaki at the Ground Zero
He began working on this statue in 1950, five years after the bombing, and completed in 1955. It is a combination of the God's love and Buddha's mercy, with the right hand pointing to the sky to give warnings, and the left hand stretching horisontally for peace.
