		Nagasaki (長崎市; Nagasaki-shi) is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki prefecture located at the south-western coast of Kyushu, Japan.
		Nagasaki had been permitted to grow for many years without conforming to any definite city zoning plan and therefore residences were constructed adjacent to factory buildings and to each other almost as close as it was possible to build them throughout the entire industrial valley.
		While the damage from these few bombs were relatively small, it created considerable concern in Nagasaki and a number of people, principally school children, were evacuated to rural areas for safety, thus reducing the population in the city at the time of the nuclear attack.

	CND - Peace Education - The impact of the bombing on Nagasaki
		Due to the hilly geography of Nagasaki and the bombing focus being away from the city centre, the excessive damage from the bombing was limited to the Urakami Valley and part of downtown Nagasaki.
		The centre of Nagasaki, the harbour, and the historic district were shielded from the blast by the hills around the Urakami River.
		The fact that the Nagasaki bomb was more powerful (see The Atomic Bomb) and also the narrowing effect of the surrounding hills did mean that physical destruction in the Urakami Valley was even greater than in Hiroshima.

	[RMSC Collections Department] Nagasaki Tamako
		Nagasaki Tamako, also known as Miss Nagasaki, is an Ambassador Doll - one of 58 sent from Japan to America in 1927 as part of an exchange of dolls between children of the two lands.
		Her story spans 75 years: with beginnings as a goodwill gesture in 1927, she travelled throughout the United States, spent decades under the wrong name, was reidentified as a result of a researcher's quest, and now carries out her renewed mission in another century.
		There are gulfs of cultures and time to be bridged in order to fully appreciate the significance of Nagasaki Tamako and her sisters - dolls are perceived and valued differently in America than they are in traditional Japanese culture, and differently now than they were in the world of 1927.
