Hidankyo and Gensuikyo and other groups

The nuclear abolitionist movement in Japan has been obviously influenced by the fact that Japan was bombed by the USA with two nuclear test explosions in August of 1945. Japan is the only nation bombed by nuclear weapons in overt acts of war. (The Western Shoshone Nation and other indigenous peoples' lands globally have also been bombed through nuclear test explosions, but not in OVERT acts of "war".)

Hidankyo: This group is the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations.
