Before Their Voices Fade:The Nobel Peace Prize and the Hibakusha

消えゆく声、つむぐ~ノーベル平和賞と被爆者~

The Nihon Hidankyo (the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations), a hibakusha organization, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2024. For generations, the hibakusha survivors have had a huge impact on the world, conveying not just their experiences of the atomic bombing, but also the horrors of nuclear weapons and the need for nuclear abolition.
While looking back at our footage of the years of activism by members of the Hiroshima Prefectural Hidankyo, a local branch of the Nihon Hidankyo, this special TSS broadcast follows Hidankyo members at the Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony in Oslo, Norway and explores the issues humanity faces in realizing a world free from nuclear weapons as we enter the 80th year since the atomic bombings.

被爆者の全国組織「日本被団協」が2024年のノーベル平和賞を受賞した。被爆者が長年にわたり、自らの体験をもとに、原爆の悲惨さ、核兵器廃絶の必要性を訴え、世界に与えた影響は大きい。
TSSでは、これまで追いかけてきた日本被団協の地域組織である広島県被団協の活動を振り返るとともに、ノルウェー・オスロでの授賞式を密着取材。
被爆80年を前に、「核兵器なき世界」の実現に向け、私たちに突き付けられた課題を探る。

The Uncertain Home: Our Disabled Children After We Pass Away

彷徨う居場所~親亡き後 障がいのある我が子は~

Parents with disabled children worry about who will watch over their dear children after they pass away.

Kunai Yasuo, living in Hiroshima City, is raising two disabled children. The older brother, Masahiro, has autism, and the younger brother, Yuki, has both autism and intellectual disabilities. However, the parents cannot support their son forever. When considering the parents’ inevitable death, what will happen to the two children? The family continues to live fearing their future.

Currently, Japan faces a nationwide shortage of facilities for people with severe disabilities. In Hiroshima Prefecture, there is a waiting list of people hoping to enter such facilities. It is a result of a national policy to shift people with disabilities from these facilities to community group residences, or their own home. The idea is to have them live independently in the community just like able people.

The death of a parent will inevitably come someday. When that happens, is there a place where you can safely leave your child? How will a society that is losing tolerance accept such families? In this program, we focus on the daily life of a family with disabled children.

障がいのある子どもを持つ親の悩み。それは「親である自分が亡くなった後、誰が大切な我が子を見守ってくれるのか」ということ。

広島市内に暮らす九内康夫さんは、2人の障がいのある子どもを育てている。兄の誠洋さんは自閉症、弟の勇輝さんは自閉症と知的障害を併せもっている。弟の勇輝さんは一日の大半、部屋の中を飛び跳ね、歩き回る。しかし、親がこの先もずっと息子を支えることはできない。将来必ず訪れる“親の死”を考えたとき、2人の子どもはどうなってしまうのか。家族の将来に不安を抱える生活が今日も続いている。

現在日本では、主に重度の障がい者が入所する施設が全国的に不足している。広島県では施設への入所を希望する待機者が列をなしている状況だ。ここには「障がい者の受け入れを“入所施設”から“地域のグループホームや自宅”へ移行し、健常者と同じように障がい者が地域で自立して暮らす」という国が進めている政策が関係している。

いつか必ず訪れる親の死。その時、安心して子どもを託せる場所はあるのか。寛容さをなくしつつある社会はこの家族をどう受け入れていくのか。障がいのある子どもを支える、家族の日々を見つめた。

The Cries of the Silent Creatures

清流のヌシの叫び ~繋ぐ命と扱う命~

The giant salamander is a protected species of the nation and lives mainly in the Chugoku region. In April, 2022, it became a hot topic when one was discovered in the river right by the Atomic Bomb Dome, located only 4.5 kilometers from the mouth of the river. Why did the giant salamander, known as the “Master of the Clear Stream”, end up in the middle of such a big city? While interviewing Associate Professor Norio Shimizu, who researches ecology at Hiroshima University, we discovered the harsh reality that these protected species face, as they are forced to live in rivers surrounded by concrete.

In recent years, repeated heavy rain disasters have led to continuous work on the restoration and protection of the river bank. As a result, giant salamanders have lost their homes and are being swept downstream. Furthermore, manmade weirs, built along the river to store water, block their way back upstream. Unable to return to its original location after being swept downstream, the Master of the Clear Stream can end up in the core of the city.

Adding to the difficulties is the existence of a hybrid species, first discovered in Hiroshima Prefecture in 2022. The large, ferocious hybrids are stealing the habitat and food of the native species. Shimizu worries that if the hybrid population continues to increase, the ecosystem will collapse to the point that it would be irreparable. Furthermore, the government has not been able to give a clear answer as to whether this hybrid breed should be protected or destroyed. What is the decision that Shimizu made regarding the hybrid species, given that they are also giant salamanders?


主に中国地方に生息する国の特別天然記念物・オオサンショウウオ。2022年4月、河口から約4.5キロしか離れていない原爆ドームの前でその姿が発見され話題になった。“清流のヌシ”と呼ばれるオオサンショウウオが、なぜこのような都会の真ん中にいたのか。広島大学で生態の研究をする清水則雄准教授を取材する中で見えてきたのは、コンクリートで囲まれた川に生息する特別天然記念物の“過酷な実態”だった。

近年、度重なる豪雨災害によって、繰り返される護岸工事。その影響でオオサンショウウオたちは住みかを失い、下流へと流されている。さらに、水を貯えるために人の手によって作られた “堰(せき)”の存在が上流に戻ろうとする彼らの行く手を阻む。その結果、下流へ流されたまま元の場所に戻ることができず“清流のヌシ”が都会の真ん中に姿を現したのだった。

この状況に追い打ちをかけるのが、2022年広島県で初めて発見された “交雑種”の存在だ。大型で凶暴な交雑種は、在来種の「住みか」や「えさ」を奪っているのだった。清水さんはこのまま増え続けると、生態系が崩れて取返しのつかない未来がくると案じる。さらに、この“交雑種”について行政側も保護すべきか、処分するべきかの明確な答えを出せていない。同じオオサンショウウオに変わりない “交雑種”を巡って清水さんが下した決断とは。

THE NAMELESS CHILDREN

~15YEARS OF THE BABY HATCH~

Everyone’s first gift is from their mother. It is our "birthday" when we come into the world. However,some children do not know the date of their birth. The baby hatch anonymously accepts children whose parents are unable to care for them. It has been 15 years since it was opened at Jikei Hospital in Kumamoto City. Over these years, 159 children have been placed inside the hatch. Some of these children are conflicted because they have no information about their origins and no memories of their mothers. One of the children placed inside the hatch, Koichi Miyatsu, will turn 18 this spring. What kind of life awaited him beyond the hatch's door?

A Year of Prayer in HIROSHIMA,August 2021-July 2022

ヒロシマ祈りの場の1年~2021年8月-2022年7月~

Hiroshima is where the world’s first atomic bomb was dropped. Peace Park in the center of the city has the A-Bomb Dome, the A-Bomb Museum, the Cenotaph for the Atomic Bomb Victims, and more. All of these tell the reality of the atomic bombing. What kind of people come to this place of prayer? We looked at a year in the life of Peace Park.
Kazuko Watanabe (78) visits the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound in the park every day at dawn. We saw Mrs. Watanabe carefully raking the fallen leaves at the memorial mound and cleaning the flower stand. Some 70,000 unclaimed remains are enshrined here. Mrs. Watanabe, who has been volunteering for more than 20 years says,”You can say there are 70,000, but each and every one of them was a person who had a precious life with hope for a bright future. The atomic bomb cut that short.” Her sister-in-law, 14 at the time, went missing in the bombing and never returned home.
Today, people from all walks of life visit this place of prayer. People come to take part in the “sennin kenka (flower-offering by 1,000 people)” on New Year’s Day at the Cenotaph for Atomic Bomb Victims. For 60 years, a Buddhist monk has been coming to the Atomic Bomb Memorial Mound on the sixth day of every month to read a sutra. Every day, a man reads witness accounts of Hibakusha at the Hiroshima National Peace Memorial Hall. As we continued our coverage, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine began. Who came to Peace Park then?
This program depicts the sentiments of HIROSHIMA through the people we met in Peace Park.

世界で初めて原子爆弾が投下されたヒロシマ。街の中心にある平和公園は、原爆ドームや原爆資料館、原爆死没者慰霊碑などがあり、被爆の実相を伝えている。この祈りの場には、日々どんな人がやって来るのか。番組では平和公園の1年を追った。

渡部和子さん(78歳)は、毎日夜明けとともに公園内にある原爆供養塔にやってくる。渡部さんは、供養塔周辺の落ち葉を丁寧にかき集め、献花台を清掃していた。ここには約7万柱の引き取り手のない遺骨が納められている。20年以上ボランティアを続ける渡部さんは、「7万と言われても、お一人お一人のそれまでにかけがえのない人生があったんだし、希望があった。輝かしい人生を原爆で断ち切られたんですから。」と語る。当時14歳だった義理の姉は、原爆で行方不明になったまま戻ってこなかったという。

祈りの場には今日も様々な人が訪れる。元旦、原爆死没者慰霊碑で“千人献花”を行う人々。毎月6日、60年にわたって原爆供養塔での読経を続ける僧侶。毎日、原爆死没者追悼平和祈念館で被爆体験記を読む男性。取材を続ける中で、ロシアによるウクライナへの軍事侵攻が始まった。そのとき、どんな人がいたのか。平和公園で出会った人たちを通して、“ヒロシマの思い”が映し出される。

Koi Whisperer -NISHIKIGOI-

錦鯉の古里

Yamakoshi, this is the place where nishikigoi originally came from.
This is a documentary of Koi farmers in Yamakoshi.
The rice paddies overflow with water from the freshly melted snow,
as do the wild ponds in which nishikigoi are raised.
The hills and valleys overflow with water and greenery.
May is an important month in the cultivation of nishikigoi.
It's when the koi are released into the ponds.
Shintarou Koi Farm has been raising nishikigoi for fifty years.
Even in summer, they'll feed them and check water quality every day.
"They'll also have busy days hatching and choosing from the young fish.
Yet it is fall they look forward to.
What people want from nishikigoi is to watch them slowly swimming around.
So the bigger they are, the more fun it is to watch them swimming through
a pond. Also making their bodies bigger makes their colors more vivid.

Wege aus der Katastrophe-Wie Fukushima die erobert-

絶望からの再起~医療産業で復興する福島

Fukushima Prefecture is continuing promote the medical industry. The medical field is expecting large growth centered on developing nations. The medical industry in Fukushima can have a big impact on the regional economy. The value of Fukushima’s medical equipment market will double over the next 10 years.

Seither sind 5 Jahre vergangen. Die Umgebung des Kernkraftwerks ist nach wie vor
unbewohnbar, aber in anderen Gegenden nehmen die Menschen langsam wieder ihr
gewohntes Leben und ihre wirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten wie vor dem Erdbeben auf.
Ein großer Antriebsmotor für den wirtschaftlichen Wiederaufbau ist die
Medizintechnologie und die damit verbundene Kooperation mit Deutschland.
Vorgestellt werden Unternehmen und Manufakturen, die die regionale Wirtschaft
stützen und Arbeitsplätze schaffen. Die Präfektur Fukushima konzentrierte sich auf die
Medizintechnologie, die weltweit Wachstumspotential hat, und förderte die Expansion
von regionalen Unternehmen in dem Bereich der Medizintechnologie.
In der Stadt Kôriyama wurde eine Einrichtung/Forschungskrankenhaus geschaffen,
das weltweit als erstes Krankenhaus BNCT , eine Krebstherapie mit Neutronen, in
klinischen Studien durchführt. BNCT soll auch die Behandlung von rezidivierenden
Krebserkrankungen ermöglichen, gilt als die „ideale Krebstherapie“ („yume no
ganchiryô = ein Traum von einer Krebstherapie“) weltweit. Die Ergebnisse dieser
klinischen Studie werden weltweit mit Spannung erwartet und beobachtet.
Was die Förderung der Medizintechnologie unterstützt ist die in diesem
Zusammenhang entstandene Kooperation mit Deutschland, für Japan das Land von
dem man in puncto Medizin immer schon gerne gelernt hat -in gewissem Sinne sieht
man in Deutschland „die Wiege der Medizin“.
Die Präfektur Fukushima hat 2014 mit dem Land Nordrhein-Westfalen eine
Absichtserklärung für enge Kooperation und gemeinsame Forschung und Entwicklung
in den Bereichen Krebstherapie, Entwicklung von medizinischen Geräten und
medizinischen Robotern vereinbart.
Im September 2016 findet in diesem Zusammenhang an der Universität Essen ein
gemeinsames Symposium der Präfektur Fukushima und dem Land Nordrhein-
Westfalen (NRW-Fukushima Joint Symposium on Advances in Medicin“ statt. BNCT
und Medizinroboter (Strahlentherapie und Robotik) sind die Themen der Konferenz.
Experten der Strahlentherapie aus Japan und von der Universität tauschen sich hier
aus. Die Universität Essen strebt an, Deutschlands erste Einrichtung für
Strahlentherapie zu werden und legt daher großen Wert auf die gemeinsame
Forschung mit dem Krankenhaus in der Präfektur Fukushima.
Bei der Medizin-Messe MEDICA, die am 13. November 2016 in Düsseldorf stattfindet,
stellt die Präfektur Fukushima jedes Jahr aus. Auch in diesem Jahr stellen 6
Unternehmen aus der Präfektur Fukushima ihre neuen Produkte vor. Darunter auch
das Unternehmen ESQ - eine kleine Fabrik (Werkstatt) mit nur 20 Mitarbeitern. Dieses
Unternehmen ist weltweit an der Spitze, was die Produktion von ultrafeinen
Metallröhren angeht. Auch für den deutschen Automobilzulieferer Bosch hat man hier
bereits ultrafeine Metallröhren für die Antiblockier-Bremssysteme gefertigt. Ultrafeine
Röhren von ESQ werden in Stents verwendet, die Herzinfarktpatienten eingesetzt
werden, um verengte Herzkranzgefäße zu erweitern. ESQ beliefert Stent-Hersteller
weltweit.
Die Firma Cyberdyne, die ihre Produktion in der Präfektur Fukushima hat, stellt den
medizinischen Roboteranzug(Exoscelett) HAL her, der in der Rehabilitation der
Bewegungsfunktionen von querschnittsgelähmten Patienten benutzt wird. Die
Therapieeinrichtung, bei der HAL zum Einsatz kommt ist in Deutschland, in Bochum.
Seit ihrer Gründung 2013 haben hier bisher 75 Patienten ein dreimonatiges Training
durchlaufen.
Gianna, die eine Rückenmarksverletzung bei einem Sturz vom Pferd davontrug, gehört
dazu. Sie konnte ihren Bewegungsapparat durch die Therapie soweit rehabilitieren,
dass sie heute wieder in der Lage ist zu reiten. Die Aufnahmen mit Gianna sowohl im
Therapiezentrum beim Training, wie auch beim Reiten belegen den Erfolg der
Therapie. In der Sendung wird ebenfalls eine 18jährige Patientin begleitet, die seit
Ende August 2016 an der 3 monatigen Therapie teilnimmt.
Durch solche Projekte, die stellvertretend sind für Medizintechnik aus Japan, wird die
Präfektur Fukushima vorgestellt und den Zuschauern in einem neuen noch
unbekannten Kontext näher gebracht. Dass sie sich soweit entwickeln konnte, und
somit weltweit Beachtung findet liegt nicht nur an der staatlichen Unterstützung,
sondern an den hohen technologischen Potentialen, die die regionalen Unternehmen
hier bereits als Zulieferer der Automobilindustrie entwickelt haben. Sie waren gefordert,
zu möglichst niedrigen Kosten Produkte höchster Qualität herzustellen. Auch
Medizintechnische Geräte benötigen höchste Qualität und Präzision, müssen sicher
und verlässlich sein. Die Unternehmen von Fukushima, die als Zulieferer der
Automobilindustrie gestählt wurden und viel Erfahrung haben, bringen in diesem
Bereich ihre Stärken ein.
In der Sendung werden noch weitere medizintechnische Geräte aus Fukushima
vorgestellt, deren originäre Technik weltweit führend ist. Die Sendung beschreibt die
Energie der Klein- und Mittelständischen Unternehmen aus Fukushima, die zum
Wiederaufbau nach dem KKW-Unfall beitragen, und die Kooperation mit Deutschland
anhand der Menschen, die hier beteiligt sind .

Memory of the World Message from Sakubei Yamamoto ~ A miner-painter’s link to the future

世界記憶遺産 山本作兵衛からのメッセージ ~炭鉱絵師がつなぐ未来~

At the age of seven, Sakubei Yamamoto entered a coal mine with his parents; this was the beginning of his 50 year career at the Chikuho mines in Fukuoka prefecture. The mines were pitch black and humid, and the threat of collapse or flooding was never far from the miner’s minds.
After retiring, Sakubei found work as a night guard. From the age of 66, he first began documenting his life and times working at the coal mines in essays and paintings. He left behind a legacy of over a thousand paintings, as well as 70 notebooks and diaries. Of this collection, 697 pieces were chosen for inscription on the ‘Memory of the World’ register. This program examines the life of Sakubei, and the incredibly detailed documents he left behind of the Chikuhocoal mines. What sort of figure was he, and what message does he convey to us through his artwork? Sakubei’s life and art is revealed through the stories told by those connected to him.
It got Certificate of Creative Excellence award at US International Film & Video Festival in 2014


日本一だった石炭生産地、福岡県・筑豊に生まれた作兵衛(1892-1984)は、およそ50年間炭坑夫として働き、その記憶を1000枚以上の絵に残しました。
暑く暗い地の底で石炭を掘る男と女の姿、道具、共同風呂やこどもたちの遊び、縁起や迷信。作兵衛が描いたのは、炭鉱で働く人たちとその家族が暮らす共同社会のすべてです。
ユネスコ(国連教育科学文化機関)は2011年、作兵衛の絵と日記など697点を「世界記憶遺産(※1)」に登録しました。日本での登録第1号です。日本でもまだ北海道釧路で、海底のさらに下から石炭を掘り出しています。
そしてほとんどを輸入に頼っていますが、日本の電気エネルギーの四分の一は石炭による火力発電が担っています。 国民一人あたりにすると、1年間に1トン以上の石炭を今も使っているのです。
番組では、かつて炭鉱で働いていた女性たちの証言、釧路やベトナムの炭鉱の迫力ある採掘現場の映像もまじえ、なぜ名もない山本作兵衛の絵が世界に認められたのか、また作兵衛は未来に何を伝えたかったのかを解き明かしていきます。


在七歲的時候,山本作兵衛在七歲的時候就與他的父母一起進入礦坑,這是他50年礦工生涯的開端。礦坑的生活十分黑暗與潮濕,擔心崩塌的恐懼一直存於礦工的心中。山本作兵衛結束礦工的工作後,繼續工作,擔任夜間的警衛。直到66歲時,他才開始使用煤炭來作畫。作兵衛的一生創作了近千幅的煤炭畫作,其中的667幅畫作會在節目中播放。除此之外,節目中還會介紹山本作兵衛的生平事蹟,以及他在筑豐碳坑的生活。透過本節目,觀眾將能瞭解碳坑畫師-山本作兵衛畫作中的故事。
