Hiroshima Survivor Takashi Tanemori

 

Here is an update from Unity member, Takashi Tanemori:

“As we are approaching the 65th Anniversary of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, I am grateful that I have opportunity to share my journey of ‘REVENGE TO FORGIVENESS” at Lawrence Livermore (progenitor of atomic bomb) by the invitation of Livermore Peace Action Committee (Anti-Nuke organization) on August 6, 2010.  And, one of dearest friends has arranged the meeting for me to speak at North Berkeley Senior Center on August 9 (at noon?) and I also have the opportunity to share my story of forgiveness with peace origami cranes and butterflies in honoring Sadako at Berkeley Public Library on August 9, at 4:00 pm through 6:30 pm.

Takashi has written one book that is currently being made into a screenplay for a feature film.  He is completing his second book, based on the teaching of his father.  The book Urban Samurai is focused toward youth.
