He sent an open letter to Professor Einstein through the magazine Kaizo, which launched a series of letters between the two men. |

Seals commemorating the construction of the "Peace Memorial City of Hiroshima"
Donated by Akira Yoshimochi
The donor's wife bought these seals around 1950. Because rebuilding funds were scarce, in 1949 the Hiroshima Peace Memorial City Construction Law was passed to obtain funds to rebuild Hiroshima as a symbol of the ideal of eternal peace. These commemorative seals were issued to solicit financial support from the residents. |
