To commemorate the entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, a piano concert was held in Hiroshima City after the atomic bombing.
This concert was held in Hiroshima City to commemorate the entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which bans the development and use of nuclear weapons, on the 22nd of this month.
The piano that was played was exposed at a point about 1.8 km from the hypocenter, and there are scars left by the glass blown by the blast.
The piano was decorated with colorful paper cranes given by German children to commemorate the entry into force of the treaty, and the performers performed their favorite songs.
The concert was held after limiting the number of spectators due to the influence of the new coronavirus and taking measures to prevent infection, and it was also distributed online.
Katsuhiko Kamitsuna, the executive committee chairman of the Hiroshima Peace Action Executive Committee, who hosted the concert, said, "I feel that the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons has finally come into effect, but it is still the first step. I think that communicating the importance of abolition is the greatest way to communicate in Hiroshima. "
