"To foster peace, one friend at a time."
World Friendship Center was founded by Barbara Reynolds on August 7th, 1965
(20 years after the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima) to provide a place where people from many nations can meet,
share their experiences and reflect on peace.
World Friendship Center has continued Barbara's vision of serving the Hiroshima community
and visitors to the city in a variety of ways.

Yu-ai Friendship Newsletter of the World Friendship Center, NPO Experiencing Hiroshima through the World Friendship CenterYovana Milosevic(Translated by Sumiko Kanetsuna) Briefly living in Hiroshima, Japan and staying at the World Friendship Center is easily the biggest blessing in my life. I encountered an entirely different culture by living in it for a month and a half, and there were surprises waiting for me at every corner.

原著『黒い卵』1946―は、栗原さんが太平洋戦争以前から戦後の占領下時代まで（1940-1945) に書きためてきた詩を収録しています。原爆投下の翌年1946年に出た私家版は、占領軍の検閲を受けました。1981年に女性史研究家の堀場清子さんが、米国のプランゲ文庫（第二次世界大戦後1945年から1949年までに日本で出版された印刷物のほとんどを所蔵する機関）で、検閲を受けた栗原さんの詩を発見しました。これが、完全版の『黒い卵』1983―を出版するきっかけとなりました。マイニアさんは、歴史学者ですが、原爆文学にも造詣が深い方です。彼の手による原爆文献の翻訳と解説などの出版物16点を私たちのデータベースで紹介しています。
