Mar. 11, Participated in KAGENKI in Hirosima

	Mar. 11, I participated in the spring memorial event of KAGENKI in Hiroshima for the first time in my life.


	Having touched with the participants' enthusiasm for anti-nuclear, it was a precious experience for me filled with a sincere prayer.


	Mr. Hiroyasu Amase, a writer, with whom I associate in "Writers association for abandoning-nuclear-power society". He helped me a lot to make my participation to the event come true.
	I felt a powerful energy in young people's recitation of Tamiki Hara's poems, and in singing voice of boys & girls in Hiroshima.



	At the front of the Atomic-Bomb Memorial Dome, by the monument inscribed with Tamiki's poem.
	Mr. Kozaburo Nagatsu, secretary-general of the association of KAGENKI, served as the moderator of the session. Mr. Tokihiko Hara, a nephew of Tamiki, talked about the atomic-bomb willow.
