Rare Hiroshima photos to be unveiled: "Rare Hiroshima photos to be unveiled
HIROSHIMA, Japan, July 14 (UPI) -- Almost 60 years to the day since Hiroshima was leveled by an atomic bomb, panoramic photos showing the ruined city will be displayed for the first time.
The panorama -- of which only a portion has been revealed to the public -- will be shown in its entirety for one day only, Aug. 3, at an international peace symposium in Hiroshima, the Asahi Shimbun reported Thursday.
The symposium is expected to discuss Japan's role in northeast Asia in working toward a nuclear-free world.
The panoramic photos were taken Aug. 10, 1945 -- four days after the United States detonated an atomic bomb over the city -- by Hajime Miyatake, a photographer with the Asahi Shimbun's Osaka bureau.
Miyatake, now deceased, took the first panoramic photos of the scene from the roof of the three-story Hiroshima-Higashi police station.
Part of the panorama was printed in 1952 in a special issue of the photo magazine Asahi Graph with the phrase: "The first revelation of the damages caused by the atomic bombing."
