ATOMIC SILENCE: Contrasting Narratives of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Yuki Miyamoto
On 21 October 2008, the word "pika", drawn by a small airplane's exhaust, appeared in the sky over Hiroshima. "Pika" is an onomatopoeia that indicates a flashing light, and historically "pika" refers to the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. Instigated by this performance, brought force by an art group, Chim↑Pom, and its subsequent controversy, the paper explores the ways in which the atomic bomb experiences have been understood through representations in media by the general audience. In fact, examining their representations shows that the horror of the atomic bombing was too often not properly transmitted, but rather normalized and even banalized. To inquire this point further, I investigate a group of women, who suffered from keloids and disfigurement. Some went to Osaka and Tokyo to receive reconstruction surgeries, while otherslater called the "Hiroshima maidens"were invited to the United States for the same purpose. Tracing their media appearances, or lack thereof, I argue that normalization of the horror of the atomic bombi

America can atone for its mistake
I am dumbfounded by what Gene Tibbets (the son of the pilot of the B-29 aircraft that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945) says about the Hiroshima memorial ceremony in the Aug. 7 Kyodo article "Fox News: Tibbets' son likens U.S. presence to apology." He is quoted as saying: "I don't know what the hell they're trying to do. It needs to be left alone. The war is over. . . . We didn't slaughter the Japanese — we stopped the war."
I know World War II is over, but the legacy of the atomic bombs that the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is not over. About 5,000 people died in the past year because of the aftereffects of radiation poisoning. I am shocked by the news that some Americans criticized U.S. Ambassador John Roos' attendance at the memorial ceremony. Some Americans don't seem to feel any compunction about being the first in history to have used atomic bombs that destroyed, in an instant, many Japanese families in their entirety.
Many Americans justify the atomic attacks by saying that the bombs brought the war to an end and saved the lives of thousands of U.S. soldiers by pre-empting the planned invasion of the Japanese mainland. The only way Americans can atone for their mistake is to abolish nuclear weapons under the g
