Japanese poet recalls censorship of late friend's work

TOKYO, Japan - Poet Kiyoko Horiba stands on a beach near her home in Onjuku, Chiba prefecture, east of Tokyo, on Oct. 15, 2014. She wonders why the postwar Allied occupation authorities had to cut a reference to the Japanese army's atrocities in Hiroshima A-bomb surviving poet Sadako Kurihara's poems in "Black Eggs" in 1946, if not the A-bomb part itself, as Horiba, also an A-bomb survivor, helped Kurihara publish the full original version in 1983.
