"Even though 80 years have passed, as fellow human beings, we first need to bring out the remains to light. Then, we must give them a proper, human burial. Right now, it’s just soil covering them – it can’t really be called a burial. They should be placed respectfully in an urn and laid to rest somewhere appropriate. And unless we all come together, put our hands together in prayer, and honor them, I believe, for these individuals the war still hasn’t truly ended.”

"The reburial also serves another purpose – offering solace to those who survived the blast, by laying those who didn’t to rest."

"When we opened the lid of the air-raid shelter, the city of Hiroshima had been so completely destroyed that the mountains, which used to appear far away, now looked as if they were right nearby. When I searched through various records together with Mr. Kayo, we gradually began to think that my uncle and aunt may have been taken to Ninoshima.”

"The U.S. atomic attack on Hiroshima instantly destroyed the city and killed tens of thousands near the hypocenter, about 10 kilometers (6 miles) north of Ninoshima. The death toll by the end of that year was 140,000. The remains of three thousand people have been found on Ninoshima, but it’s thought that thousands more are still missing."
