Exhibit to open at Nunemaker Center

Friday, March 6, 2009

The Ecumenical Christian Ministries is hosting the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Exhibit at Nunemaker Center March 8 to 15. The event will also be hosted by the KU Honors Program student council with support from the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Japan.

Mishizu Ohtake, Okayama, Japan, graduate student, said the exhibit was meant to encourage Americans to think of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

“In Japan, throughout the year, for some people that event has affected their lives a lot,” Ohtake said. “Even though it happened over 60 years ago, the people of Japan will never forget.”

There will be an opening reception from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday in Nunemaker with speakers presenting at 3 p.m.

Sachiko Masuoka, an atomic bomb survivor living in Chicago, will speak at the event. She will be accompanied by Yuki Miyamoto, an assistant professor of religious studies at DePaul University and daughter of an atomic bomb survivor. The exhibit will include large posters with photographs and information sent by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Attendees will have the opportunity to make a paper crane to contribute to the exhibit. The Nunemaker Center is located at 1506 Engel Road and is open 4 to 10 p.m. Sundays, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays and is closed on Saturdays.
