It shows how U.S-Japan relations in the mid-1950s shaped the 1958 decision by the Catholic community of Urakami to dismantle and subsequently to reconstruct the ruins. The paper also assesses the significance of the struggle over the ruins of the Urakami Cathedral for understanding the respective responses to atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It further casts new light on the wartime role of the Catholic Church and of Nagai Takashi. Keywords: Nagasaki, Atomic Bomb, Urakami Cathedral, the People-to-People program, Lucky Dragon # 5 incident, Japanese antinuclear movement, the peaceful use of nuclear energy, sister city relation between Nagasaki and St. Paul, U.S.-Japan Security Alliance. The two photographs below depict the remnants of the Urakami Cathedral following the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Both were taken in 1953 by Takahara Itaru, a former Mainichi Shimbun photographer as well as a Remnants of the Southern Wall and statues of the Nagasaki hibakusha.

Schools, museums, NGOs, and individuals all contribute to the basic goals of peace education—learning from the past and cultivating mutual understanding between cultures so that citizens will make rational future choices regarding violence and nonviolence. Eleven participants were selected for this study tour from the more than 17,000 teachers in the U.S. who have completed a National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) 30-hour seminar on East Asia. From June 20–July 3, 2013, the educators and leaders traveled to Japan to learn about peace education in Japan and create curricula for use in their own class- rooms back in the U.S. In Nagasaki, we visited the Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Vic- tims, the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum, and the Peace Park. We also visited Yamazato Junior High School, where we were inspired by the Peace Studies Coordinator for the Nagasaki Schools.
