A famous peace statue created for the Nagasaki Peace Park. The hand pointing up signifies the nuclear bomb in the air, the hand reaching out is extending a peace offering to other countires, the curled leg signifies deep meditation while the leg bent out is ready for action to help other countries in need. This statue is 10metres tall and very big!
