Folk singer Kosetsu Minami, who has donated proceeds from concerts for atomic bomb survivors, will reunite his folk group Kaguya Hime on Saturday to continue his campaign against nuclear weapons.
The concert on the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima will be held at a hall in the city's Nishi Ward.
Minami, 56, said he was moved when visiting ailing atomic bomb survivors at a nursing home in Hiroshima.
"It would be scary if young people associate wars and nuclear weapons only with animated cartoons," he said. "I felt it was necessary to communicate the war's agonies directly to the audience."
