Dome Story
On August 6, 1945, the American air force dropped an atom bomb on Hiroshima. Including those who subsequently died from radiation exposure, the bomb has killed a total of 400,000 people to date. It destroyed a brick building located near the epicenter, leaving only a portion of the walls and the steel frame of its dome. This is now known as the A-Bomb Dome and is a registered UNESCO World Heritage site. The story, of which the Dome is the central character, encompasses how the building first came to be, the mechanism of the atom bomb, and how nuclear power has since been harnessed for electricity. The abstract depiction of invisible uranium particles scattering through the air leaves a strong impression. (Nogami)
