August 6th and 9th

August 6th and 9th are very important days for us japanese.
even after 64 years, we still remember the tragic events of human history.
the days when nuclear weapons were dropped on human beings.
8/6 in hiroshima, 8/9 in nagasaki, 1945.

In today's new york times, a japanese designer, issey miyake, posted a message as one of the A bomb survivers, which makes me proud of his courage and want to share it with my friends.

I hope Obama, as well as all the world leaders, will visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki and see what happened there with their own eyes, and declare total elimination of nuclear weapons.

no more hiroshima, no more nagasaki.
peace, Jin
