The young Terao had just survived the world’s first nuclear attack.
For Terao, the idea the world is hurtling back toward the nightmare he barely survived is incomprehensible.
Terao points to a photograph showing Hiroshima before the atomic bombing and the house where he spent the first four years of his life.
And yet, for a man who has survived an atomic bomb attack, the fact that the planet remains at risk of nuclear armaggedon is hard to live with.
“I wonder If I’ll die without seeing a world without nuclear weapons,” he adds.
