Inner Musings from Tokyo : January 2021
As I complete 1 year in Japan this February, we thought to start a monthly series about Japan; its daily life, its culture, its food, its unique aspects, its positives & sometimes even its negatives. In this series, “Tokyo Musings”, we will share our thoughts, knowledge, experiences, and insights from Japan with our readers. After staying for a year, possibly I think I understand and know Japan a little better than as I knew as a tourist traveling to Japan… With a base career in India, I have been traveling to Japan for 2 decades now and it had been only short visits of not more than 3 weeks.

Hiroshima – Japan’s Peace Prefecture
Hiroshima is best remembered as the first city targeted by a nuclear weapon when the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) dropped the atomic bomb “Little Boy” on the city at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945. Most of the city was destroyed, and by the end of the year 90,000–166,000 people had died as a result of the blast and its effects. In December 1996 at UNESCO’s 20th World Heritage Committee Convention in Merida, the Atomic Bomb Dome was listed as a World Heritage site being a building that communicates the total devastation caused by nuclear weapons. The erstwhile Atomic Bomb Dome was constructed in 1915 and in 1933…
