-----------------------------
It is our Nagasaki Peace Committee's mission to raise the sense of “Nuclear weapons as the embodiment of absolute evil” in world spiritual level. This time we publish this atomic bomb story collection in Japanese and English. This is a good chance to send the “real voice of survivors.” We would be most grateful if we are able to share our mission and responsibility to pass on “the spirit of Nagasaki” to future generations accurately. (from “In Commemoration”)
