ABSTRACT

In August 1945, the atomic bomb dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, resulting in Japan’s unconditional surrender World War II. Mankind's first atomic bomb caused untold casualties and countless people died of even after the blasts due to acute radiation exposure. Later, authors began making presentations by using the materials and materials that they experienced in their experiences and artifacts they uncovered in the rubble. These efforts led to the creation of “Atomic Bomb Literature” or simply “Atomic Literature.” In order to review this literature in Japan, we analyzed "Black Rain" written by Ibuse Masuji, a representative of Atomic Literature. First of all, we looked at the structural features of "Black Rain", including the significance of "Black Rain". And for the sake of collecting data for this study, I read and analyzed "Black Rain" in addition to holding discussions on the novel, collecting students’ impressions of the literature, and introducing their writing of appreciation in the abstract.
