Commemorating Hiroshima and Nagasaki: A Reflection on Peace

Every August, the world remembers the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945—tragic events that marked a turning point in world history. These memorial days serve as a solemn reminder of the consequences of war and the importance of pursuing peace.

This month, as the anniversaries are observed in Japan and around the world, we take a moment to reflect on the value of peace and the lessons learned from history. The atomic bomb memorials not only honor the victims but also call on future generations to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

Japan’s post-war commitment to peace and international cooperation continues to influence many areas, including education. As part of this global learning effort, the J.TEST supports better understanding and communication through Japanese language learning.

We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to reflect on the past and renew a shared commitment to peace, respect, and global understanding.
