Hiroshima on August 6th - a city, a symbol, and a call to end the atomic age.
» See our special section on Hiroshima-Nagasaki

The Japan Council against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs (Gensuikyo) was established in September 1955. Since then it has waged various kinds of campaigns for: the prevention of nuclear war; the total ban on and the elimination of nuclear weapons; and support and solidarity with Hibakusha (victims of the atomic bombing.)
