From the original photographer:
On Aug.9, 1945, an atomic bomb exploded above the city of Nagasaki to kill over 70,000 people. The Uragami Catholic Church was then collapsed to decay. After the war, they dug out the head of Virgin Maria, which used to be at the front gate of the church. On the day I visited her, I saw a bird flying up into the blue sky, twittering 'peace'.
