Keiji Nakazawa
March 14, 1939 – December 19, 2012
This author powerfully chronicles the horrors of war and its human cost through deeply personal, often autobiographical works. Marked by firsthand experience of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, his writing delves into themes of survival, the aftermath of conflict, and societal critique. He employs a raw, unflinching style, rendering suffering with graphic detail that immerses readers in the characters' harrowing journeys. His narratives serve as both a testament to past atrocities and a potent warning for the future.
