The statue symbolizes God’s love and Buddha’s mercy. The right hand symbolizes the threat of the atomic bomb, the left hand peace, the right leg the silence of Nagasaki City immediately after atomic bombing of Nagasaki and the left leg the lives that were saved.
Head coach Takuya Takagi who played for the football club in Hiroshima commented: ”The peaceful pray statue in Nagasaki and the folded paper crane are part of the design of this jersey. We can feel Nagasaki from these points. Playing in this jersey at the two matches is very significant. Especially the match on the 8th of August which is the day before the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.
