Why was a summer orange tree replanted at Kōmyō-in Temple? Here at Kōmyō-in Temple, a resilient summer orange tree stands as a testament to Hiroshima’s enduring spirit. This tree, now an impressive 5.8 meters tall with a trunk circumference of 0.85 meters, wasn’t always here. Originally located on the embankment of the Sanyō railway line, it was moved to Kōmyō-in Temple after surviving the atomic bombing. The blast occurred 1,700 meters away. Each year, this remarkable tree bears sour fruit, a poignant symbol of life’s persistence in the face of adversity. The tree at Kōmyō-in Temple, exposed to the bombing’s destructive force, embodies the temple’s history and resilience. Kōmyō-in Temple, like the city itself, has been rebuilt and renewed. It is a place where the past is remembered, and hope for the future blossoms. The summer orange tree, bearing its fruit year after year, serves as a living reminder of this cycle of destruction and renewal. It stands as a symbol of hope and resilience at Kōmyō-in Temple in Hiroshima.
