A Trip to the Hiroshima Trees

by Yuko Ishida

In Hiroshima, there is a remarkable group of 170 “survivor trees”-trees which remained standing after the atomic bomb was dropped on the city in 1945. This book tells the stories of these trees, as well as the people who have suffered with them, cared for them, and worry about their future. A thought-provoking non-fiction book which deals with emotive themes of environmental conservation, nuclear weapons, and the power of the local community.
