概要 In June 1962, a week-long international conference titled 'The World Without the Bomb' was convened in Accra, Ghana, attracting approximately 130 participants, mainly from the Non- Aligned Countries, who discussed the issues of disarmament and denuclearisation. Among the convention attendees were three Japanese: Shinzo Hamai, the then mayor of Hiroshima City; Ichiro Moritaki, a professor at the Hiroshima University and a leader of the anti-atomic and hydrogen bomb movement and Tomi Kora, a leading female activist and a former member of the House of Councilors. Through an examination of official documents, press reports and private papers collected in Japan, Ghana, Kenya and Britain, this study analyses how the anti- nuclear arms conference held in Ghana impacted campaigns against atomic and hydrogen bombs in Japan as well as how Japan, as a victim of nuclear bombing, influenced disarmament and denuclearisation movements in Africa in the early 1960s.
