Abstract

The article discusses U.S. President Barack Obama's plans to visit Hiroshima, Japan, the site where an American atomic bomb was dropped during World War II. It examines how the bombing has been remembered with contrasting perspectives between the Japanese and Americans, noting that many Japanese museums focus on the death toll rather than the political and military causes.
