'Art bomb' intended to get N.Y. to remember Hiroshima, Nagasaki

NEW YORK, United States - Organizers of the Pikadon project, conceived by Japanese illustrator Seitaro Kuroda, are using artwork as a statement to creatively engage New Yorkers to reflect upon the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki 60 years ago. ''We are going to drop an art bomb on New York,'' said Taku Nishimae, the project's New York manager, who is coordinating the citywide effort to educate Americans about the dangers that exist with the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
