Overview

• Organizers opened the exhibition on Oct. 4 at the former Bank of Japan Hiroshima Branch.
• It features 68 black-and-white prints selected from roughly 8,000 photographs donated to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
• The images, taken from 1966 into the early 1970s, document everyday scenes such as play, family meals, and close care.
• Photographers Masahiko Shigeta, 81, and Kiyomi Suganuma, 78, created the body of work after meeting as photography students.
• Kinoko-kai, a group formed in 1965 by survivors and families, organized the show to highlight these often “voiceless” survivors and to support calls for nuclear abolition.
