Farmer harvests rice driving from seeds gathered in Nagasaki after A-bombing

Kikuo Sakai examines a bunch of harvested rice stalks grown from seeds deriving from those collected in Nagasaki in 1945 after the atomic bombing of the southwestern Japanese city, as seen in this photo taken in Motomiya, Fukushima Prefecture, on Oct. 12, 2015. Sakai, who is among more than 20 farmers cultivating such "radiated rice" to remember the A-bombing tragedy, says half of rice ears are empty due to chromosomal aberrancy stemming from the lingering effects of radiation.
