| Mr. Tanemori has been losing his eyesight
since 1987 as a result, his doctors tell him, of being exposed as
a child to the explosion of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima in World
War II. "In struggling to find new ways to fulfill the purpose
of life, I want to use my dimming vision before it will refuse to
behold the sunset." ...The theme of his artwork acknowledges
50 years of healing, learning to forgive and to bring peace between
the people of the two nations of Japan and America. He is also the
co-developer of an advanced guidance system (TAGS) designed to assist
people who are blind or visually impaired to utilize public transportation
and travel unassisted in public places.
