ABSTRACT
However, despite the fact that our bodies experience physical death, our memories and wisdom continue to be handed down to our successors. People’s difficult memories recall their pain or shame and offer us the challenge of learning new lessons in order to develop new wisdom and conquer ill fortune. In this sense, it could be argued that two cities in Japan – Hiroshima and Nagasaki – represent among the most powerful lessons of the ‘deaths of a city’.
