A representative of Nihon Hidankyo, a Japanese organization made up of survivors of the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, will call for the abolition of nuclear weapons at the award ceremony on Tuesday.

Tanaka Terumi is one of the three Nihon Hidankyo co-chairs scheduled to receive the award on the stage during the ceremony in the Norwegian capital, Oslo. The other two representatives are Tanaka Shigemitsu and Mimaki Toshiyuki.

The ceremony will be attended by 30 delegates, including atomic bomb survivors and supporters of the Japanese organization, which has long called for the abolition of nuclear weapons from the standpoint of survivors.

Tanaka Terumi was in Nagasaki when the atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city. In a speech, he plans to highlight how devastating and inhumane the atomic bomb was, citing his own experience of losing five relatives, including his uncle and aunt, to the tragedy.

Tanaka said at a pre-ceremony news conference on Monday that it is regrettable that the idea of using nuclear weapons comes up so easily in people's discussions these days, and that this makes him feel sad. Tanaka said his mission is to convince younger generations that nuclear weapons must never be allowed to coexist with humanity.

This marks the second time in 50 years that a Japanese person or organization has won the peace prize.
