This article is my report on current A-bomb issues and the current social conditions of the hibakusha's life. It is made up of two sections. In the first section, I explain the current issues in the field by showing one recent movement of the hibakusha groups, the action of which I am concerned with. That is, recently it is becoming easier to undertake dialogue with hibakusha. Although it is necessary for us to foster activity that conveys hibakushas' experiences of the bombs to subsequent generations, and promote the construction of a "New Narrative" about them, there is an important problem we must consider. Next, in the second section, I describe my research experiences and future subjects. We need to take account of our research posture in order to have a dialogue with them. Recalling research experiences and considering interactions with subjects are the same task, and it is important to describe and look carefully at them. Furthermore, I refer in this essay to the social significance and meaning of academic research.
