Different from Hayashi Koyko, who deals with women's productivity'', horrible ''death'', and children of the hibakusha (people exposed to the effects of atomic bombing) in Nagasaki in her works, Sata Ineko, though also a Nagasaki native, was not a hibakusha. Despite that, her novel Juei (The Shadow of Trees) is important in that it reveals diverse radioactive experiences of hibakusha in Nagasaki and foregrounds issues of ethnicity and morality. Juei deals with the relationships between Ryo-Chingzi, a 27-year-old Chinese woman lived in Shinchi, Nagasaki, and Asada Susumu, a married painter. Both had been forced to live with loneliness while suffering effects of radiation exposure from 1948 to 1967. As a Chinese decedent, Ryo-Chingzi was denied as a hibakusha by Japanese and had to combat diverse adversities. This paper focuses on her life story which highlights the presence of marginalized hibakusha thus to explore issues relating to genbaku (atomic bombing), ethnicity, and gender. |
