Shinto has tied Bhuddist ancestor worship to its core guidelines, so there are loose ties. Shinto is generally used to celebrate births and funerals are usually Bhuddist.

That second arch is from Otsuchi (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2001984/Japan-tsunami-earthquake-Pictures-recovery-3-months-later.html) too, not Nagasaki.

Boo Hiss - don't ruin the story! It is of course the mystic arch that the dragon flew through that went off to smite the hateful protagonists of these disasters... Sorry too much manga.

And not forgetting that Nagasaki is like over a thousand kilometres away from Fukushima, and on the other coast.
