In the early morning of August 6th, 1945, Hiroshima a city of nearly 350,000 people, was the first victim of a nuclear bomb attack. Over 100,00 people were killed due to the bomb and its lasting effects including many Korean slave laborers. The devastation was near-total to the city’s buildings and infrastructure. A month later, a typhoon finished off what was left. Yet, the city has blossomed since then, like the Oleander flower that first returned after the bombing and was subsequently anointed the city emblem. Now home to over 1 million people, Hiroshima has healed, but its history is still evident with its Peace Memorial Park and deconstructed Atomic Bomb Dome. Found within a few feet of the epicenter, this manhole cover features a hexagonal motif with the city emblem in the center and a ring of dots at the circumference. Added numbers near the bottom quadrant reference the aforementioned episode. Also found within the Notorious Japan manhole coaster set.
