Work was carried out one week later than usual due to the G7 Hiroshima Summit. 19 city officials offered a moment of silence in front of the monument at 8:15 a.m.
The list included the names of 8,5 people who were exposed to the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and died by August 33 last year. The names of the newly deceased will be added and placed in the cenotaph on August 1. The staff turned the pages one by one to check for damage while letting the wind through.
