Letters from Hibakusha

Finished

In 2017, NHK launched a project to bring the written testimonies of atomic bomb survivors to life through animation. The stories are drawn from over 2,200 letters sent to NHK's annual reciting program, which has been running for nine years. Each episode adapts a personal account of the Hiroshima bombing, preserving the voices of those who experienced it firsthand.

The animations visualize the survivors' memories, from the moment of the blast to its aftermath, conveying the emotional weight of their experiences. Through these short films, the project aims to share the hibakusha's stories with a wider audience, ensuring that their testimonies are not forgotten.
