Rebun Kayo, a Japanese researcher and lone volunteer, regularly visits Ninoshima Island near Hiroshima to uncover the remains of victims killed by the atomic bomb 80 years ago. The small island, accessible by a short ferry ride from Hiroshima, still holds fragments of human bones from those who perished in the bombing. Kayo emphasizes that these remains have not been treated humanely and that the victims were buried without proper funerals, underscoring the ongoing impact and unresolved nature of the war. In addition to Kayo's work, Hiroshima continues to engage in efforts to preserve the memory of the atomic bombing through artistic and educational initiatives, including teenagers relaying the horror of the bomb through art and exhibitions of peace-related materials in Tokyo and other peace museums across Japan.
