Atomic bomb survivors in Japan have prepared leaflets bearing messages of peace to be handed out in Oslo to coincide with the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony next week.

They also folded paper into origami cranes to attach to each leaflet at an office of Nihon Hidankyo in the city of Nagasaki on Monday. The items will be handed out in the Norwegian capital, where the Japanese group will be awarded with the peace prize at the December 10 ceremony.

The leaflets bear English messages such as "No more hibakusha," and others stressing that nuclear weapons and humanity cannot coexist. They also contain English translations of speeches and remarks given by Yamaguchi Senji and Taniguchi Sumiteru -- both survivors of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

Yokoyama Teruko, a senior Nihon Hidankyo official, is to attend the award ceremony. Yokoyama said she will explain to people from around the world how people suffered in Nagasaki and what they are wishing for, and what her organization has achieved so far.
