	BBC NEWS \| Asia-Pacific \| Nagasaki bombing labelled a crime
		One of Japan's most senior politicians has said the US atomic bombing of Nagasaki in 1945 was impermissible from a humanitarian point of view.
		Speaking in Nagasaki over the weekend, Mr Nakagawa - a right-winger - said that atomic bombings were a crime.
		Analysts say that Mr Nakagawa might have made the comments to simply acknowledge the understandable concern there might be in Nagasaki about his calls for a debate about nuclear weapons, and that this was an attempt to allay those fears with a strong condemnation of the use of the atomic bomb.

	[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.
