Fumiko Morita will appear on "Tetsuko's Room" broadcast on August 15th

Nagasaki atomic bomb victim Fumiko Morita will appear with her daughter Kyoko on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will air at 1:00 p.m. on August 15th.

Fumiko, now 96 years old, lost her parents and three younger brothers in the atomic bombing of Nagasaki when she was 16. She had sealed away the memory of that event for 75 years, but at the age of 91, a certain incident prompted her to speak out about her experience of the bombing for the first time on social media.

At 11:02 a.m. on August Getsuku, 1945, the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Fumiko was suddenly hit by the blast on an island where she had been mobilized as a student. She made her way home by boat and on foot, but the fire was so intense that she spent the night along the way. The next day, she witnessed the devastation in Nagasaki. When she reunited with her sister, who was two years younger than her, in an air raid shelter, she was told that her parents and younger brothers had died. She returned home and cremated her family alone. On August 15, the anniversary of the end of the war, we will introduce Fumiko's desire for peace, saying, "I will definitely live long enough to continue passing on my message," as well as the story of her daughter, Kyoko, who supported her mother.
