Hiroshima Genbaku Taikenki Kankokai An editorial group involved in compiling and publishing firsthand accounts of people who experienced the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. "Genbaku Taikenki" was based on testimonies solicited by the City of Hiroshima from atomic-bomb survivors in 1950. The volume brings together 18 accounts selected from 164 submissions, along with excerpts organized into 16 sections, recording in survivors' own words the devastation of August 6, 1945, their injuries, the deaths of family members, and life in the aftermath of the bombing. The planned publication did not take place during the Allied occupation, but the collection was later published by Asahi Shimbun and subsequently issued in the Asahi Sensho series in 1975.
