Conclusion
Visiting both Korea and Japan, we learned various perspectives on the three issues we studied. It was interesting to meet and talk with hibakusha and NGOs working for nuclear power abolition or nuclear disarmament in both countries. We were able to recognize how different the situation was and still is for the Korean and Japanese hibakusha. Also, there were differences even in NGOs working towards the same goal. Organizations such as PSPD, Energy Justice Actions (Korea), and ANT-Hiroshima (Hiroshima), had more knowledge and a clearer vision of how their movements may be able to lead to nuclear abolition. Yet, some organizations, especially in Japan were led by or whose members were mostly hibakusha, seemed to have a larger sense of how morally wrong nuclear weapons are with a more abstract idea of how to achieve a nuclear-free world. However, we have only met with several people and organizations out of many around the world that are working towards nuclear abolition. It is also important to keep in mind that there are many hibakusha from other nations such as the United States, Philippines, Taiwan too. In the future, we would like to learn more about hibakusha from other nations and investigate this issue from a whole new approach and perspective.
As Professor Kim at Hiroshima City University said, it may be important to continue questioning ourselves, “Is Hiroshima a victim or a hero? Is Japan a survivor or an aggressor? What should we be doing and what do we have to do to achieve a nuclear free world?” and to continue investigating this important issue.
