Who is the owner/manager of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum?

Question

I saw an old japanese documentary featuring a chilling commentary at the end by the owner of the museum but I have no idea what his name is. I want to find out what he said and quote it in my paper. The documentary seemed to be from the 80's...

He said something like "I hear young ones in the museum saying 'I'm glad I never lived through that time', but they are wrong. Bombs are more powerful than they ever were before....Let us pray that we never see a museum like this established anywhere else in the world."

Answer 1

I believe you may have sen the Mayor of Hiroshima reading the annual peace declaration. He reads it every year on August 6th. I've placed the URL for the Museum's web site in the source box below. You can view all of the annual peace declarations off that site. At the bottom the web site's home page is the e-mail address for the museum. I believe you are required to gain their permission for using their words. I visited the museum and peace memorial site in 1964.
