Another symbol of “peace”, that is at right next to the Hondori Station of Astram-Line (placed at the South-end of the underground shopping street, SHAREO) in downtown Hiroshima, stands there to welcome you. It calmly tells us how precious the peace is.
A beautiful stained glass with a motif of a cartoon work called "Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms" by Ms. Fumiyo Kono, a manga artist from Hiroshima city who is also the original author of "In This Corner Of The World" has been open to the public and waiting for your visit.
The part of the story is set in Hiroshima, in 1955, ten years after the atomic bomb was dropped.

She says,
In the comic book “Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms,” I depict people who try to lead hearty and humane lives in Hiroshima.
How about coming to meet one of “them”?
Among the Astram-Line stations, it is the closest one to the Peace Memorial Park and the stained glass is located just off the stairs at the Astram-Line station in the main street shopping district. (Hondori Station West Exit 1)
If you come to Hiroshima, please take a look.
