Dr.Nagai stayed in mourning for six months after
exposure to the atomic bombing,seeking "peace" and "restoration"
in "prayer".
Dr.Takashi Nagai,an assistant professor at the Nagasaki Medical College,was
exposed to the atomic bomb explosion in the college hospital.
In spite of his own serious injury,he immediately began selfless efforts
to assist the victims and to launch studies concerning atomic bomb disease.
His efforts later shifted from medical concerns to the restoration of the
city and culture of Nagasaki and to the realization of world peace.
Dr.Nagai had been suffering from leukemia from before the atomic bombing,but
even when his condition deteriorated he continued his research and writing
from his sicked.
He died six years after the atomic bombing,but his achievements tell of
his great aspiration for peace.
