All of these extreme adversities are not openly told or reported by the governmental policy of keeping the real outcome of the nuclear disaster secret with mass media faithfully following the official policy. And even among the inhabitants of Fukushima, there is a certain kind of hesitation to bring to the public what has really happened in Fukushima because the specifically horrible character of the effects of nuclear accident on the daily life of citizens.
The aim of this picture book is to make this awful situation known to everybody.
