@themegandaily: #cityguidetiktokcontest #travelguide #DidYouKnow #historytok #LearnOnTikTok Hidden in Manhattan is one of New York City’s most peaceful monuments: the Shinran Shonin Statue, located in Riverside Park near 105th Street. Shinran Shonin (1173–1263) was the founder of the Jōdo Shinshū, or True Pure Land, school of Buddhism—one of Japan’s largest Buddhist traditions. This bronze statue was gifted to New York by the people of Tokyo in 1955 as a symbol of peace and friendship following World War II, making it one of the city’s most meaningful international monuments. 📍Riverside Park, near W. 105th Street, Manhattan

For everyone saying they feel baited…want to point out that it’s a bit of anything people love to tell…that this is the most radioactive statue in NYC. I find using actual science pretty exciting.

There was a explainer video I had seen that explains why Hiroshima and Nagasaki aren’t as radioactive as say Chernobyl. It has in part to do with the air burst of the weapons.

The atomic bombs dropped on Japan exploded in air and since they did not mix with ground, materiel on the ground was damaged by the energy, but almost nothing was left radioactive. The brass has little to do with it.
