Self-introduction
I aim to develop research in the fields of hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor) studies and HIROSHIMA's peace philosophy. In particular, I am interested in hibakusha's demands, perspectives, peace-related ideologies, and social movements. I also study the measures necessary to address the atomic bomb damage. Another area of research I am interested in is nuclear justice.
