It narrates the concerns of Nagasaki and Hiroshima representatives who met in Tokyo to submit a proposal to reconstruct as a “peace commemoration city” and to seek a reconstruction law that recognized the “special nature” of their city's destruction. The chapter also outlines how the competition between Nagasaki and Hiroshima grew out of the postwar need for national reconstruction funds. The path of reconstruction, in both cities, was not predetermined but rather grew out of the many visions for reconstruction that emerged during the first several years after the bombing. The chapter then argues that the American occupiers and Christians envisioned the revival of Nagasaki in similar ways to municipal officials, creating what the author calls the municipal vision of reconstruction. Finally, the chapter seeks to link the city's international past to its atomic present instead of defining Nagasaki's place in history solely in terms of the bombing.","PeriodicalId":281382,"journal":{"name":"Resurrecting Nagasaki","volume":"503 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133011902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many strategies of the psychological war against Japan during the Second World War continued into the occupation. The chapter then unfolds how the United States dedicated massive amounts of paper to disseminating ideas favorable to the Americans and their allies in the hopes of influencing the minds of the Japanese people. Among the tens of thousands of books published during the first five years after the war, the books by Nagai Takashi stand out as products of the policies of the Allied occupation.

The chapter also examines Motoshima's way of thinking, his career as a politician, and how he exemplified Nagasaki's convergence of atomic narratives. His view of the atomic bombings as an unavoidable end to Japan's war of aggression was sometimes misunderstood as a moral justification of the bombings, or even senility, especially when he played so prominent a role in Nagasaki's peace movement during his time as mayor.

It focuses on the Urakami Cathedral ruins which loomed large in discussions of reconstruction and urban identity through the late 1950s. The chapter looks at how the ruins linked the past to the present, but, in the case of a destructive event, also ensnared the present in a contested past. For activist groups, hibakusha, and other city residents, the ruins became the center of the commemoration of the bombing and a popular symbol within their atomic narrative, providing a shorthand reference for the human trauma of the bombing. The chapter also analyses Nagasaki's approach to modernizing its landscape and Hiroshima's approach to stay frozen in the traumatic, atomic moment. Ultimately, the chapter investigates how Hiroshima cultivated a milieu de mémoire (real environment of memory) in the first decades after the bombings, whereas Nagasaki failed to preserve its only lieu de mémoire (site of memory).","PeriodicalId":281382,"journal":{"name":"Resurrecting Nagasaki","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114219414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
