Item Description
Original Items: One-of-a-kind set. These artifacts were collected in a river bed near ground zero of the atomic bomb explosion and we originally distributed by Hiroshima University’s Association for Sending Atomic-bombed Roof Tiles in order to perpetuate awareness of the devastating effects of the atomic bombings in Japan, and to oppose the use and proliferation of nuclear weapons. In a letter that accompanies the donation, Toshimasa Asahara, President of Hiroshima University, explains:
The threat of nuclear weapons still exists in many areas of the world. It is our earnest desire, however, that the pain and sadness experienced in Hiroshima not be re-created anywhere else in the world.
This wish is not only the wish of those of us living today but represents the silent voices of the 240,000 Hiroshima citizens who perished from the atomic bomb. We believe it is also the will of others such as yourselves who will work together with us to build a peaceful future for the world.
In addition to a small fragment of roof tile, there is an unknown melted object included which was also found in the river bed. Both are mounted in a river box with photos and explanations. This display was originally used for educational purposes.
Furthermore, numerous research books and related materials are also included with this purchase. These items were part of an private collection in the United States which had belonged to a former educator. Out of an abundance of caution we did test the material with a Geiger counter and both object omitted reading within the normal range.
