	Daigo Fukuryu Maru - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daigo Fukuryu Maru encountered the fallout from the U.S. Castle Bravo nuclear test on the Bikini Atoll, near the Marshall Islands, on March 1, 1954.
		However, the test was over twice as powerful as it was predicted to be, and changes in weather patterns blew nuclear fallout, in the form of a fine ash, outside of the danger zone.
		The tragedy of the Daigo Fukuryu Maru gave rise to a fierce anti-nuclear movement in Japan, rising especially from the fear that the contaminated fish had re-entered the market.

	Collapsing Histories: Fukuryu-maru No. 5 Exhibition Hall
		The twenty-three crewmen of a Japanese fishing vessel Daigo Fukuryu Maru - translated in English as The Lucky Dragon No. 5 - at approximately 4:00 a.m., on March 1, 1954, witnessed the detonation of the Bravo Hydrogen Bomb Test in the Bikini Atoll.
		Collapsing Histories is participating in the marking of the 50th anniversary of the Fukuryu Maru incident.
		Previously Collapsing Histories was exhibited in California galleries, however, this is by far the most important exhibition of the show, because the venues themselves are as important to the concept of the show as the work in it.

		"Fish from Yaizu were shunned after the irradiation of the Fukuryu Maru was reported, causing a plunge in marine product prices, while the crew members of the vessel and their families faced prejudice and discrimination as people believed radiation was contagious," Iizuka said.

		For the next 12 months, as her crew received the rudimentary treatment that was all that was available at the time for exposure to radiation, the Fukuryu Maru was examined by researchers for the effects of a hydrogen bomb.
		In 1968, a campaign was begun to salvage the vessel and the Daigo Fukuryu Maru Exhibition Hall opened in 1976.

		There is no evidence that the Fukuryu Maru No. 5 received warnings, by radio message or any other means, while being in the area before the accident occurred.

	Collapsing Histories: Katsushige Nakahashi
		Because photography possesses unique attributes of capturing time and space, and by exhibiting this work in the Daigo Fukuryu Maru Exhibition Hall – essentially on top of it – Nakahashi has collapsed the contemporary and the historical moment as well as the physical topography of the Runit Dome and the Daigo Fukuryu Maru Exhibition Hall.
		The Fukuryu Maru – the vessel itself – after 1954 changed hands a couple of times and was eventually abandoned, left in the Yumenoshima landfill; cast off as if just an ordinary piece of rubbish.
		Contaminated by radioactive fallout the Fukuryu Maru might well have been destined for Runit and perhaps by placing the image of the Runit Dome over the Fukuryu Maru Nakashashi has metaphorically buried it there.

		Of the 23 crew members of the Fukuryu Maru No. 5 tuna trawler, known in English as the Lucky Dragon, only 11 are still living.
		Fear of nuclear contamination sent the nation into a panic and led to the dumping of tons of tuna caught in the affected area of the Pacific, resulting in the loss of hundreds of millions of yen for the fishing industry.
		Misaki said he was shocked by some of the media reports, such as one that said the Fukuryu Maru crew members, while "tainted with death ash," were carousing in the city.

		A Japanese tuna trawler, the No. 5 Fukuryu Maru ("Lucky Dragon"), was 112 miles east of Bikini Atoll at the time of the Bravo explosion, well outside the danger zone announced by U.S. officials.
		Yet Bravo's staggering detonation powdered the boat's 23 crew members with what is known in Japan as shi no hai -- "ashes of death." When the Fukuryu Maru reached its home port of Yaizu, about 120 miles south of Tokyo, on March 14, the crew was suffering from a radiation sickness that stunned the world.
		It was this triple-play of surprises -- Bravo's tremendous force, Whitaker's letter, and the plight of the Fukuryu Maru -- that chinked the U.S. government's usual policy of secrecy.

		All twenty-three people on board the boat were hospitalized after returning to Japan, and one of them, radio operator Aikichi Kuboyama, died seven months later of kidney failure reported to be caused by radiation (although it was later revealed that he had in fact died of an unrelated case of hepatitis).
		The debate centered on whether the ship’s crew was at fault or whether the radius affected by the test far exceeded the estimated range and had in fact caught the ship in supposedly safe waters.
