From Our Own Correspondent: Hiroshima's Paper Cranes

The Essential

Available for over a year

As US President Barack Obama prepares for his visit to Hiroshima, Juliet Rix reflects on her own impressions of the city's approach to its past. The site of the world's first nuclear attack in war has made peace its watchword, and there are memorials to the dead and exhortations for harmony all over the landscape. But what do today's residents feel about the relationship between Japan and the US should be? Photo: Juliet Rix brought back one of the symbolic paper cranes often folded and left at Hiroshima memorials to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ London, as a wish for peace ((c) Juliet Rix)
