I was born and grew up in Hiroshima. I used to be an equestrian and enjoyed a horse-full life at a Veterinary College in Miyazaki Prefecture. And I’ve worked for Hiroshima City Hall as a vet. The city annually holds its Peace Memorial Ceremony, inviting many delegates from around the world. Throughout my over 40-year career as a city official, I accompanied those guests during their stay in Hiroshima. So, besides my profession, I became a Peace Park Guide, a Miyajima Guide, and a licensed guide interpreter of Hiroshima Prefecture. My mother, who runs a beauty salon, is one of the atomic bomb survivors. And I started looking for ways to convey her message to future generations. A radio drama, modeled after my mother and me, was broadcast nationwide and won a grand prize in 2016. Let me tell you the history and local culture of Hiroshima.
