| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main purpose of this research was to gather oral history data from Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors who were old enough to have “narrative memories” not only of their atomic bombing experiences, but also of prewar, wartime, and postwar Japanese life in general. Toward this end, the cooperation of various Hidankyo branches and also several public institutions was secured for introducing subjects willing to participate in recorded interviews. By the completion of the project, some 37 hibakusha interviews lasting from 2 to up to 5 hours in length were recorded, and their contents were later confirmed by crossreferencing with primary and secondary source historical material.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
1945年8月の日本の都市への原爆投下に関する英文学術文献は、ジョン・ハーシー著『ヒロシマ』（1946年）を除いては、軍事作戦、技術、外交・政治的側面など、アメリカ側に焦点を当てたものが多数である。このような英語文献における被爆者の扱いは、表面的で二次元的な補助的役割として表現される傾向があり、単に原爆の威力を証明する手段として採用されるだけで、日本文化的な文脈はほとんど、あるいはまったく読者に提供されない。本研究の目的は、海外の読者（一般人または学者）のためにこのギャップを埋める貢献ができたであろう。
