Abstract
Around 75 years ago, two atomic bombs were dropped over Japan, killing somewhere between 129,000 and 226,000 people in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. From amid the ensuing destruction, there came forth survivors of the blasts who have given us, through their words and art, vivid descriptions of the horrors they endured. This contribution features three works of art that portray two major skin injuries caused by the nuclear explosions: flash burns and acute radiation syndrome. These artworks serve as a remembrance for the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The art is also a tribute to the courage of the many atomic bomb survivors who have spoken out against the threat of nuclear weapons, sharing with us their vision of peace.
