Former Outpatient Ward of Hiroshima Teishin Hospital
Hiroshima Teishin Hospital, designed by architect Mamoru Yamada as a modern reinforced concrete building with distinctive, large panel windows, was completed in 1935.
When the atomic bomb was dropped on August 6, 1945, the blast blew out the windows of this building, but it was spared from total collapse.
The daily lives of the doctors, nurses, and other staff who were working here at the time were abruptly transformed by the bombing. Despite suffering from the effects of the bombing themselves, they worked tirelessly to provide medical treatment, and their experiences are conveyed through photographs and video footage displayed here.
This building, which bears the scars of the atomic bombing, has been carefully preserved as a tangible reminder that invites reflection on the meaning of peace.
