Students have held an exhibition in Tokyo to introduce the activities of Nobel Peace Prize-winning atomic bomb survivor's group Nihon Hidankyo.

The exhibition was part of a school festival held on Saturday and Sunday at Showa Women's University in Setagaya Ward. It included about 50 items selected from documents related to Nihon Hidankyo.

Testimonials from A-bomb victims' family members included detailed descriptions about the change in health condition of survivors after their exposure. The family members also expressed their hope that the government would compensate the survivors, or hibakusha, and stressed that another nuclear war must be prevented.

Also displayed were reports of the survivors' participation in international conferences and meetings with representatives from various countries. This included letters sent to leaders of the US and other countries. The exhibits attest to the many years of effort that Nihon Hidankyo has spent sending its message of nuclear abolition to the world.

The documents on display were provided by a group that aims to preserve the memory of hibakusha with a slogan "no more hibakusha." Group member Kurihara Yoshie said the students carefully studied the documents and put them on display. She said their efforts contributed to publicizing the records of hibakusha's activities that have not drawn much attention.

One of the students, Otsuka Miria, said she wants people to know that they can pass on the hibakusha's history through the documents, especially since it is becoming increasingly difficult to hear directly from the hibakusha.
