What a vast heart Takashi Tanemori has, to have lost everything but his own life because of the atom bomb, and to have come to a place of forgiveness. I am deeply moved by this. It shows that there is no excuse to withhold forgiveness, ever, and that no cause can be too great to justify withholding forgiveness. Thank you for sharing this noble and profoundly inspiring story.

And Nico, that book is such a tearjerker. Highly recommended to anyone reading this right now. Good call. Tom, thanks for writing this up.

Forgiveness is hard, but it is essential. I sometimes wonder if I'd have such strength. At lunch today, while reading “Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms,” I almost started to cry.
