The exploration of Japan's nuclear identity reveals its complex stance as a 'nuclear-bombed state,' 'nuclear disarmament state,' 'nuclear-threatened state,' and 'nuclear umbrella state.' It delves into the historical context of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, debates their classification as genocide, and assesses Japan's role in nuclear disarmament amidst threats from North Korea and its alliance with the U.S. The book also critiques Japan's lack of support for the Treaty on Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons and envisions future pathways for its nuclear disarmament diplomacy.
