About This Design

Hiroshima Memorial Cenotaph Plaque

Hiroshima Memorial Cenotaph Plaque

Near the centre of the park is a concrete, saddle-shaped monument that covers a cenotaph holding the names of all of the people killed by the bomb. The monument is aligned to frame the Peace Flame and the A-Bomb Dome. The Memorial Cenotaph was one of the first memorial monuments built on open field on August 6, 1952. The arch shape represents a shelter for the souls of the victims. The cenotaph carries the epitaph "安らかに眠って下さい 過ちは 繰返しませぬから", which means "please rest in peace, for [we/they] shall not repeat the error." In Japanese, the sentence's subject is omitted, thus it could be interpreted as either "[we] shall not repeat the error" or as "[they] shall not repeat the error". This was intended to memorialise the victims of Hiroshima without politicising the issue, taking advantage of the fact that polite Japanese speech typically demands lexical ambiguity in the first place. The epitaph was written by Tadayoshi Saika, Professor of English Literature at Hiroshima He also provided the English translation, "Let all the souls here rest in peace for we shall not repeat the evil." On November 3, 1983, an explanation plaque in English was added in order to convey Professor Saika's intent that "we" refers to "all humanity", not specifically the Japanese or Americans, and that the "error" is the "evil of war": The inscription on the front panel offers a prayer for the peaceful repose of the victims and a pledge on behalf of all humanity never to repeat the evil of war. It expresses the spirit of Hiroshima — enduring grief, transcending hatred, pursuing harmony and prosperity for all, and yearning for genuine, lasting world peace. Globe Trotters specialises in idiosyncratic imagery from around the globe. Here you will find unique Greeting Cards, Postcards, Posters, Mousepads and more.

This 50 year wedding anniversary photo plaque is a great design. My parents (who I bought it for) loved it and it takes pride of place in their lounge room, with other photos. A great memento for their milestone wedding anniversary. The printing was of good quality. My only disappointment was that I had trouble loading photos to zazzle. I also tried to edit photos and plaque, but internet kept dropping out. So unfortunately the photo plaque had editing issues, but that was my fault NOT the manufacturer. All up a good quality photo plaque
