Opinion | The Icons That Survived Hiroshima (Published 2011)
I grew up under the watchful eyes of three Russian icons that survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. They belonged to my father’s parents, refugees from the Russian Revolution who were quietly eating breakfast with two of their three children when the Enola Gay flew over their city on Aug. 6, 1945, and dropped the bomb that turned most of it to dust. Miraculously, my father’s family escaped uns

BBC apologises for Japanese atomic bomb jokes on QI quiz show
Yamaguchi, who died of stomach cancer last year aged 93, was on business in the city when the bomb dropped, killing 80,000 people instantly and another 60,000 in the months that followed.

Fry thought it "bizarre" that Yamag
The Weight of the Earth, The Tape Journals of David Wojnarowicz
The book as object, as content, as idea, as interface. What is the book in a digital age? Is it a physical object containing pages encased in covers? Is it a portable device that gives us access to entire libraries? The codex, the book as bound paper sheets, emerged around 150 CE. It was preceded by clay tablets and papyrus scrolls.

For the first time ever, a U.S. delegation will attend Japan's annual memorial commemorating America's atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

Tokyo THE Futenma Marine Corps Air Station on Okinawa, one of the largest United States military bases in East Asia, is in the center of a crowded city. The American and Japanese governments acknowledge the dangers of this situation, and they agreed nearly 15 years ago that the base should be moved; however, no move has yet been made. In 2009 a new prime minister, Yukio Hatoyama, tantalized Okinaw
