"The Nagasaki Angel"

Situated at the head of the Japanese garden, this statue (0.40 m), originally on the facade of the Urakami Church in Nagasaki, was the only part miraculously spared from destruction by the explosion of the atomic bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.

A gift from the town of Nagasaki in 1976 for the celebration of UNESCO's 30th anniversary.
