Each year, on Hiroshima Day, our community gathers in the quiet glow of the Buddhist temple to remember, to reflect, and to recommit ourselves to peace. I photograph this event freely—capturing portraits, rituals, lanterns, and the shared humanity that fills the space. These images are offered to everyone at no cost, as a small contribution to a much larger message: peace is something we build together.
Your support helps keep this project alive.
Why These Photos Matter
The Hiroshima Day ceremony is more than an event. It is a living reminder of compassion, nonviolence, and the responsibility we share to protect one another.
The photographs:
- Preserve the stories and faces of our community
- Help new generations understand the meaning of Hiroshima Day
- Support peace education and outreach
- Offer families and participants a way to remember their part in this tradition
I never charge for these images. They belong to the community. Your donation helps cover the real costs behind making them possible.
