Hibakusha poet who also blamed Hiroshima for atomic bombing leaves powerful message
HIROSHIMA -- "Even if the first time was a mistake, the second time is betrayal. Don't forget our pledge to the dead." These words were repeated by poet Sadako Kurihara (1913-2005), who survived the Hiroshima atomic bombing and consistently condemned the crime of nuclear weapons. Masahiko Ikeda, 78, who studies Kurihara's handwritten manuscripts and notes, describes her as someone who "stubbornly thought about peace and stayed true to her principles." A room in a building near Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park is packed with materials about Kurihara. Ikeda, secretary-general of the citizens group Association for Preservation of Literary Materials of Hiroshima, has been organizing more than 100 documents he inherited in 2023 when Kurihara's former home was demolished. Some notes are scrawled hastily on notebooks and the backs of flyers, making them hard to decipher. "She was not only a poet -- she also made incisive statements as a thinker. We have to make sure everyone can read her words," Ikeda said, sometimes going as far as producing clean copies to preserve traces of her thoughts that never made it into published books or pamphlets for successive generations. Born on the outskirts of Hiroshima, Kurihara married Tadaichi Kurihara, an anarchist, in 1931. Despite suppression of their beliefs and living in poverty, she continued to write antiwar poetry throughout World War II. On Aug. 6, 1945, at age 32, Kurihara became a hibakusha survivor of the atomic bombing while in the former town of Gion (now Asaminami Ward), about 4 kilometers from the hypocenter. Three days later, she went to central Hiroshima to retrieve the body of a schoolgirl neighbor who had died from radiation, and witnessed the devastation firsthand. The year after Japan's defeat, Kurihara launched a journal with her husband and others, devoting herself to her creative work. She not only told of the victims' suffering -- she also addressed Hiroshima's responsibility as a military city before the war. In her 1972 poem, "When We Say Hiroshima," she wrote: "That we may say 'Hiroshima' and hear in reply, gently, 'Ah, Hiroshima,' we first must wash the blood off our own hands." Ikeda shared his view that, "As an A-bomb survivor, it was groundbreaking that she was quick to hold Hiroshima responsible for the bombing." Kurihara also participated in nuclear abolition and pro-constitution campaigns, joining sit-ins to protest every time a nuclear test was conducted. In 1991, even as threatening phone calls and letters came to her home after joining demonstrations against overseas dispatches of the Self-Defense Forces, she never wavered. Why did she hold fast to her antiwar and antinuclear stances throughout her life? Many hibakusha writers from Hiroshima, such as Tamiki Hara, Sankichi Toge and Yoko Ota, died young. Ikeda said of Kurihara, who lived to 92, "She had the determination that she must take up the final baton of atomic bomb literature and keep running. She never stopped questioning what Hiroshima meant to the very end." Kazuko Kojima, 79, an atomic bomb survivor from Hiroshima's Minami Ward, still treasures a letter she received from Kurihara in her later years. The letter offers warm words: "You are the one testifying to Hiroshima's potential. Please, live on in good health forever." Kojima was the real-life inspiration for the newborn baby depicted in Kurihara's representative poem, "Umashimenkana" (Bringing Forth New Life), which describes a child coming into the world in a basement crowded with wounded people just after the bombing. Despite receiving media attention through the poem, Kojima did not initially become active in peace movements. When she confided, "I feel guilty for not being able to do anything," Kurihara comforted her like a mother: "Just the fact that you are living and healthy is enough. So, it's OK." Buoyed by these words, Kojima now values the many connections born from "Umashimenkana" and has joined activities as a result. In 2022, she organized an exhibit in Hiroshima featuring Kurihara's handwritten manuscripts with the help of a midwife friend. This January, she registered A-bomb testimonies of her mother and others at the National Hiroshima Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims in Hiroshima's Naka Ward. Did Kurihara entrust hope to Kojima, the child born amid the ruins? One of her letters continued, "I have been happy because I have been able to live my life without any regrets even if I die at any time. Meeting you has made me live strongly."

Tekken 8 game director owns up to Season 2 screwups: "We will continue to make steady, meaningful improvements one by one, and do our utmost to regain your trust"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Tekken 8's game director has commented on the extremely negatively received Season 2 patch after releasing an emergency patch for the game. While Tekken 8 was pretty beloved at launch, the game's Season 2 update – which was released alongside the new DLC fighter, Anna Williams – has gone down like a lead zeppelin. The patch was intended to encourage more defensive play but ended up making the game even more offensive-focused (for a game that was built around offensive play, that's a bit too much). It resulted in an 'Overwhelmingly Negative' rating on the game's Steam Store page and caused the series' producer, Katsuhiro Harada, to admit that the backlash towards it was warranted. Now that the emergency patch has arrived in-game, Tekken 8 game director Kohei Ikeda has posted a message to fans on Twitter to apologize for the issue. In the post, Ikeda said, "I would like to offer my heartfelt apologies as the Game Director for the fact that the recently released Season 2 did not meet your expectations and caused inconvenience due to critical issues." He added, "We take all of your feedback and comments very seriously. The entire team is working together with full commitment to resolve these problems and deliver a better gameplay experience." While Tekken 8's new patch hasn't solved all of the problems with Season 2 just yet, Ikeda took time to promise that "We will continue to make steady, meaningful improvements one by one, and do our utmost to regain your trust." Hopefully this will all blow over by the time Tekken 8 decides to introduce Captain Planet or whatever it's going to do to one-up Negan's arrival in Tekken you wait for Tekken 8 to get to a better place, you should check out our list of the best fighting games you can play right now.
