The event took place after the Nobel Peace Prize award 2017, awarded to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), for "its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons". Among the crowd were more than 20 "Hibakusha", survivors of the atomic bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as a range of activists, faith-based organizations and others who work or support work for peace, in one or another way. Here, Anne Grete (left) and Kari (right), who have been active in "No to Atomic Bombs" in Norway, one of the partners in ICAN, for more than 40 years.

The Koreans had been brought to Japan to work as slaves during the war. The church in Japan has played a key role in addressing Japan's complicity in violence and murder during the war years. The ceremony included the participation of a delegation of pilgrims from the World Council of Churches who each came to Japan to see for themselves the results of the bombings 70 years ago, to listen to survivors and local church leaders, and to recommit themselves to new forms of advocacy for a world free of nuclear weapons.
