Protesters march in Japan for nuclear abolition

Holding a photo of Aikichi Kuboyama, who died of irradiation after a U.S. hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll in the South Pacific in 1954, a woman and fellow antinuclear group members march in Yaizu, Shizuoka Prefecture, on March 1 to appeal for the abolition of nuclear weapons. Kuboyama was one of the crew members of the Japanese fishing boat Fukuryu Maru No. 5, that was exposed to radioactive fallout near the Bikini Atoll on the same day 45 years ago.
