5. Uwajima city peace monument, 2005. Basalt stone from Mongolia, weight 14.000 kg, height 4,7 meters. Stone cut into 3 parts; 1 - base, 3 meters in length; 2 - middle part, again cut into 7 pieces, symbolic for the 7 continents of this world, and in this middle part also a round hole of 26 cm in diameter for the gas light; and 3 - the top part, symbol of a precious gem stone (earth).

Inside this stone, the fire of the atomic bomb, which was dropped on Hiroshima, will burn for ever, visible through the 7 cut stones parts. The stone's base has been badly damaged by the influences on mankind, wars, natural disasters, diseases, and pollution. In the middle part of the stone the bright fire of Hiroshima is burning quietly, sending its message to the 7 continents of this world. The top part of the stone is shaped like a precious gem stone, made by all the people of this world, who received our message and who started to co-operate and work together to polish this stone brightly, as a symbol of our precious, beautiful, and peaceful world.
