43) Unofficial Monument

Facing the Japanese Embassy, but standing on the all-embracing, safe side of Tiergarten, there is a new monument. Unofficial, movingly unassuming, and noticed. An insider monument composed by a very young cherry tree, few origami cranes glittering, and a small wooden shield: “Den nie gennannten Kämpfern gegen die Atomenergie in Japan” (“To the never mentioned opposers of nuclear power in Japan”).
