The cherry blossoms in Mt. Asuwa and a pagoda

The pagoda of peace in Mt. Asuwa was built in 1959. It is a symbol of longing for peace and recovery. Because Fukui was suffered from big disasters such as an air raid in 1945, the great quake in 1948, and the floods later. India's Prime Minister Nehru presented Buddha's ashes to Fukui and they were put into the pagoda.
