From my teens Hiroshima has captured my imagination as the place where innocents met with the worst humanity can do. Without realising it, forty years later, my four weeks in Japan built to this cathartic moment and was, perhaps, an unconscious pilgrimage to pay my respects to those lives wiped out in a moment. Having to visit twice in two days, such were the insane emotions experienced on the first afternoon, the second visit was no more comfortable than the first. Alone, a solo-traveller, I found myself wandering the acres of memorial park barely able to hold together the gamut of emotion. Guilt, sorrow, sadness, anger, and ultimately hope. Looking at the faces of others, Peace Memorial Park has that affect on those open to their consciousness.
If you travel to Japan only once in your life, please pay your respects at Hiroshima. An assured melancholic day studying the many dozens of monuments will be rewarded with an odd benevolent calm, peace, understanding, and a resoluteness that we must never let conflict reach these calamitous heights again. “Let all the souls here rest in peace, for we shall not repeat the evil”
My trip to Japan was a self-guided tour organised by the very lovely team at Oku Japan www.okujapan.com/
広島は10代の頃から、罪のない人々が人類最悪の目に遭った場所として私の想像力をかき立ててきました。 40 年後、私が日本で過ごした 4 週間は、知らず知らずのうちにこのカタルシスの瞬間を築き上げ、一瞬にして消え去った命に敬意を表す無意識の巡礼だったのかもしれません。 2日間に2回訪問しなければならず、最初の午後に経験した狂気の感情のように、2回目の訪問は最初の訪問と同じくらい快適ではありませんでした。 ひとり、一人旅行者である私は、感情の全範囲をかろうじてまとめることができずに記念公園のエーカーをさまよっていることに気づきました。 罪悪感、悲しみ、悲しみ、怒り、そして最終的には希望。 平和記念公園は、他人の顔を見て、意識を向けた人々にそのような影響を与えます。
人生で一度だけ日本を旅行するなら、ぜひ広島に敬意を表してください。 何十もの記念碑を研究する憂鬱な一日は、奇妙な慈悲深い静けさ、平和、理解、そして紛争を二度とこの悲惨な高みに達させてはならないという決意を与えられるでしょう。 「ここにいるすべての魂が安らかに眠れますように、私たちは悪を繰り返しませんから」
