Sebastian Hau

A silent cry captured fifteen years after the bombing—
Tozō Nagata’s “Hiroshima • 1960” is a remarkable visual record by an amateur photographer who sought to fill a gap in wartime documentation.

Nagata, an amateur photographer working for the Mainichi Newspaper’s Osaka office, spent weekends in Hiroshima portraying the post-bombing lives of ordinary people. He photographed eight individuals—a schoolteacher, a clerk, a fisherman, a couple, an elderly salaryman’s family, older couples, and an elderly woman—each embodying the lingering impact of the bombing. The foreword by noted peace thinker Robert Jungk deepens the emotional resonance conveyed through these images
