Here is the most well-known paper about Nihon Hidankyo:
"The paper examines the history of the Hidankyo (Japan Confederation of Atomic and Hydrogen Bomb Sufferers Organizations), a social movement organization of atomic bomb survivors in Japan. It focuses on how Hidankyo engaged in contentious politics against the Japanese government over the decades to demand redress for the damage caused by the atomic bombings.
The paper shows how Hidankyo initially did not have a clearly articulated set of demands against the state, but through its long struggle to overcome obstacles, it was able to strengthen solidarity among its members and present its fundamental demands. Hidankyo's slogan of "no more hibakusha" was not a natural outcome of the survivors' experience, but was substantiated through their confrontation with the government."
