One can see skyscrapers, the lush greenery of the Hiroshima Peace Park, and Mount Takeda, dotted with numerous historical sites, as well as Ninoshima Island in the far distance. Standing in front of this peaceful landscape is Kajiya Fumiaki, of the Association of Teachers Continuing to Tell Hiroshima’s Story, holding a picture. The picture, painted in bright red by Mr. Kajiya, depicts the city of Hiroshima on that historical day. “Hiroshima was on fire. Hiroshima was burning bright red.” We asked Mr. Kajiya, who uses this picture to help tell Hiroshima’s story, about his own experience of living through the atomic bombing and what he wants to pass on to children.
