Architecture Column (1): Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum (Main Building) is not only a symbolic landmark in the Peace Memorial City of Hiroshima but also a monumental work of architecture. Indeed, it would not be an exaggeration to regard it as the foundation of postwar Japanese architecture. The fact that two buildings in Hiroshima (this museum and the Memorial Cathedral for World Peace), instead of those in Tokyo or Osaka, were the first postwar buildings to be designated as Japan’s nationally important cultural properties is testament to this.
