Summary

[edit]
Description
English: en:Sannō Shrine, Nagasaki: This image shows the shrine's surviving camphor trees in naked silhouette, 1945
Context note:One of the two pillars of the Sanno Shrine Torii was toppled by the A-bomb blast. The blast also blew away the branches and leaves of the two camphor trees in the precincts of the Shrine, which were then more than 500 years old. At that time, it was feared that the trees might wither and die; however, they gradually began to recover, and now are thickly covered with leaves and branches.
