In 1954, a group of Japanese tuna fishermen aboard the Daigo Fukuryū Maru witnessed the unimaginable—a blinding white sky, a silent sea, and the beginning of a nightmare they couldn’t yet understand. This slow, immersive story walks you through the quiet horror of their experience—before the headlines, before the protests, before the fallout settled.

Told in calm, second-person narration, this video captures the eerie stillness of radiation exposure, the stunned dockside return, the bureaucratic hush money, and the final, wordless acceptance of what can’t be undone. There are no explosions here—only silence, dust, and the heavy cost of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
