Japan: The Kaiten Training Center, Remain of World War II in Kawatana
The Kaiten Training Center has a history that leaves one perplexed. Unlike other monuments, witnesses of World War II that I have talked about in previous posts, such as the Atomic Bomb Dome in Hiroshima or the "One-Legged Torii" at the Sanno Shrine in Nagasaki, the Kaiten Training Center is not a commemorative relic. Fine Art Print © O. Robert (Purchase here) Indeed, this building is not a ruin resulting from the atomic bombs dropped in 1945 on the cities of Hiroshima and Na
