Filling in the Blanks in History Over 75 Years “Hiroshima no Kuuhaku” (Literally: “The Blanks of Hiroshima”)—Unresolved Victims of the Atomic Bombing
The Chugoku Shimbun (located in Naka Ward, Hiroshima) has been serializing “Hiroshima no Kuuhaku” since 2019, where it publishes original reporting on victims of the atomic bombing that have remained unknown to the public, bringing to light countless unresolved issues, and went on to win the 2020 Japan Newspaper Publishers and Editors Association Prize. It was also published as a book in July 2021. The Peace Media Center department of the Chugoku Shimbun plans and edits the serial. We interviewed Ms. Kanazaki Yumi, the director of the Peace Media Center, and reporters Mizukawa Kyosuke and Kuwashima Miho.
