Admin’s Note

The Prime Minister’s recent statement reflects a strong commitment to the goal of a world without nuclear weapons, which is very encouraging. In particular, the emphasis on enhancing education and museums to transmit the memories of war to future generations is crucial. I believe it is essential for each of us to seriously consider how we carry these memories forward and pass them on to the next generation. Listening to the voices of atomic bomb survivors and cherishing their feelings may be the first step toward building a peaceful future.
