The Monument in Memory of the Korean Victims of the A-bomb, War memorial in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Japan.
The memorial features an obelisk mounted on a turtle base with two dragon sculptures at its crown in the center of Peace Memorial Park.
The monument, completed in 1970, honors tens of thousands of Korean individuals who died during the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in World War II.
The stone turtle base reflects the traditional belief that departed souls travel to the afterlife carried on the backs of turtles.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking streetcar lines 2 or 6 to the Genbaku Dome-mae stop or using the Maple Loop Bus to Peace Park.
The monument relocated from Honkawa Bridge to Peace Memorial Park in 1999 marks the location where Prince Lee's remains were discovered after the bombing.
