On Saturday it will be 60 years since the bomb went off.

I'm interested in hearing people's memories and thoughts about Hiroshima. For me, my parents were in Japan after the war. My father was part of the allied occupying forces there. My mother joined him, and they went to Hiroshima to see the devastation there, when she was pregnant with my older sister.

I grew up in a house full of beautiful Japanese art works, it was only when I was older that I realised what had happened there.

Years later, I illustrated a book which included interviews with women from around the world. The author was a man called Floating Eaglefeather, a native american storyteller. One of the interviews was with a Japanese woman telling her story about her experiences there. Somewhere, at the bottom of a cupboard, I have that book and will post some of her story when i find it.
