Hibakusunoki A-bombed camphor tree

A large camphor tree that withstood the atomic bomb damage and is still strong and full of vitality.

A large camphor tree that has its roots firmly planted at the entrance to Sanno Shrine, surrounded by various trees. The lush green leaves and powerfully growing trunk are impressive.

The atomic bomb that exploded over Nagasaki City in August 1945 cracked the trunk, blown off branches and leaves, and burned the tree with heat rays, causing it to be on the verge of withering at one point. However, after that, the tree miraculously sprouted new buds and gradually regained its strength and revived, giving courage to the A-bomb survivors who were heading towards reconstruction from the burnt-out ruins. It is loved as a symbol of peace and rebirth, and is now designated as a natural monument of Nagasaki City.

At Sanno Shrine, we are also distributing the ``Okusu-mori,'' a gift that symbolizes the vitality of this okusu.

It is also the model for the song "Campus" by Masaharu Fukuyama, an artist from Nagasaki City.
