A statue built in remembrance of Sadako Sasaki and all the other victims of the bombing. Sadako was only two years old when the bomb was dropped and suffered immensely from the radiation it produced in the blast, dying from cancer at age 12.

One of the many memorials in the peace park, this memorial in particular is made into the shape of a clock, the time itself represents the time that the bomb was dropped.
