Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park
half a century old nails and skin pieces.
The place itself might be interesting since it really provides a detailed description of pre-bombing Hiroshima, and nuclear bomb consequeces both on people, psychologically and phisically, and on places.
Yet I found quite disturbing exposing half a century old nails and skin pieces, names of dead people, their stories.
It was as if the museum had to strike at my deepest disgust to make me understand how tragic the event was.
That’s not the right way to awake people’s coscience, also made me think who built the museum thought visitors wouldn’t be clever enough to understand the tragedy residing within hiroshima bombing convincing them only with logic.
I must confess I felt disappointed, that’s it.
Making death an attraction won’t help us understand the tragedy better and also isn’t very respectful towards those who died that way.
Kinkakuji, Kyoto
Untitled
Western people aren’t usually accustomed to Japanese art. Yet it’s very very attractive once you discover and learn to appriciate it. Kinkakuji is one of the finest examples from this point of view. Read some of its history, visit it, you’ll love it. Sunset is especially loving in summer in my opinion.
