“All war is a symptom of man’s failure as a thinking animal.”
― John Steinbeck
About forty minutes by train from JR Hiroshima Station, you can access to a major naval city, Kure. Even prior to World War II, the city has been home to a fair share of facilities to build large ships. Battleship Yamato was the largest in its kind but was eventually destroyed by Americans at the end of the war. Yamato Museum houses detailed artefacts, exhibits and pictorial descriptions of the behemoth battleship as well as those who fought against the Allied Forces during the war. Despite the fact that the battleship has been a Japanese pride, it also is a negative legacy left by the Japan Emire, which waged the reckless war against the most powerful nation in the world. As I witnessed how Americans viewed the war via the museum of USS Kidd during my stay in Louisiana, US, the war was nothing but a huge mistake Japan has ever made. And one of the outcomes of the war is the Atomic-bomb dome in Hiroshima. During this trip to Hiroshima, I saw many of those legacies of the tragedic war.
