ŌFUNA KANNON (2004)
The site of the Ōfuna Kannon has stones from ground zero of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A flame from the atomic fires of Hiroshima still burns and is preserved at the site. Bundles of 1000 paper cranes each are left at Ōfuna for world peace, as they are also left at Sadako Sasaki's monument in Hiroshima Peace Park.
