What Australia got to do with that August 1945 event? Isn't that go to do with another country across Pacific?

Of three masterpieces of war paintings, Goya’s "Third of May", Picaso’s "Guernica" and Maruki’s "Image of Atomic Bomb", I think Maruki excels them all.

The Hiroshima Panels are compelling paintings conveying a powerful experience.

I believe a commenter on the Hosei hammer attack story contended that playing victim was a Korean national characteristic. Perhaps other countries do it too

Sakkura saki above...Australia fought against Japan in WW2.
Following Hiroshima, many Aussies went to the surrounding towns to oversee the surrender terms and reconstruction.
Most , if not all, saw the poverty of the people and especially the kids in rags and feelings of anger and rage where replaced with kind feelings.
Aussies like great art work as well, witness the queues when big exhibitions are held.
Art has a transcendent capacity to move you out of the complacent here and now and to show something you hadn't seen.

It's probably in the Japanese national character not to shout "Remember Hiroshima! Nagasaki!"
What's the difference between us and Koreans? Did we demand an apology and compensation for the atomic bombings from the US on a national level?
I hope it doesn't happen again, but I'm concerned about Russia's actions in Ukraine.

Last December 8 went as calmly as can be without us hearing "Remember Pearl Harbor."
