Three famous scenes from ”The Hiroshima Miracle”
The historical fact that the women of Hiroshima achieved reconstruction conveys the “importance of peace” and the “spirit of forgiveness”.
After the war, Hiroshima achieved a miraculous recovery in both spirit and lifestyle.
Focusing on this “recovery,” this moving story is based on the true story of Taeko’s great-grandmother, who continued to revive her business and contribute to the community while raising her mother, who lost both parents in the atomic bombing, with her hands full.
By depicting strong and beautiful women who did not stagnate with resentment or hatred toward anyone, but looked forward with a spirit of forgiveness, we hope that children who read this manga will be inspired to think about how to create peace.
The manga is also used as peace education materials in elementary and junior high schools.
At the time of the atomic bombing, most men went to war, so in Hiroshima city there were many women left, including Taeko’s great-grandmother. The roots of famous Okonomiyaki as a soul food in Hiroshima is “Issen-Yoshoku” which they baked using rubble in the burning land.
Okonomiyaki in Hiroshima has many names “○ ○ chan” because many women who lost their fathers and husbands in the war had opened stores with their own power. The name of the female owner who worked hard is attached.
Thank you letter from President Obama
On April 14, 2016, we donated “The Hiroshima Miracle” to Ms. Caroline Kennedy, US Ambassador to Japan, to make President Obama’s visit to Hiroshima a reality. Then, Ms. Kennedy gave us a thank-you letter saying, ” I will send it to Washington (President Obama).” And on May 27, 2016, President Obama’s visit to Hiroshima was realized. At a later date, President Obama gave us a thank-you letter saying, “I am moved by your story.”

Publication in 6 official UN languages and adoption as a textbook for peace studies
We have published the book in Japanese, English, French, and Spanish, but in order for the book to be read by children around the world and to teach them how to create peace, we need to work in the languages spoken in their countries. We will first publish the book in the six official languages of the United Nations (English, French, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish), which are used by many people, and we would appreciate your support as a corporate or individual supporter.
