The Mobilized Students(動員学徒)

During World War II, more than three million students over twelve years of age were mobilized for labor services throughout the country. As a result, more than 10,000 students were killed, including some 7,000 killed by the atomic bomb. They gave up their youth and studied for the nation.

Memorial Tower to them(学徒慰霊塔)

This ferro-concrete tower is twelve meters high and gradually widens as it rises. The exterior surfaces of the five tiers are finished with Arita-yaki ceramic tiles. The sculpture depicts the Goddess of Peace accompanied by eight doves perched around the tower. On the center pole are lights offered to God in memory of the lives that were extinguished.
