Misery of nuclear weapons

There may not be a person who doesnft know how cruel and miserable the first atomic bomb dropped on human beings on the history of man was.

Than to shout against war

What we would like to tell is not only shouting loud, "Antiwar." With a beloved family, merely living peacefully without life being threatened. Is it a small wish common to all people of the world? I would like you to notice the common thought. Then, wars which wound each other will surely disappear. Neither hatred nor anger, but prayer for peace. It is the message we would like to convey.
