Hiroshima

It has been very hot these days.
When the humidity is high, we feel much hotter than an actual thermometer mercury indicates.

AT this time of hot summer, lots of people remember and think of what happened to Hiroshima 62 years ago.
I recently read this MANGA called “City in evening calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms.”
Long-lasting physical, mental and psychological burden on the atomic bomb survivors and their families are illustrated modestly in everyday lives.

With the aging of the survivors, true horror of atomic bombing seems to be gradually fading in consciousness. Horror of atomic bomb and the atrocities Japanese military had done. These facts should be passed on from generations to generation despite the controversies over how to teach history at schools in Japan.
