Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms" in English language version.
Compared to its thematic predecessor Barefoot Gen, Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms is an atom bomb story that's told in whispers rather than screams.
The book was more of a sensation than a controversy, if you get the meaning.
PM: Unfortunately, it was kind of ignored at Cannes last year because of all the attention lavished upon Beat Takeshi's new film and this other movie, Dai Nihonjin.

The drawings, at first simplistic, appear particularly beautiful and characteristic of the author's particular style. They serve and emphasize the depth of a story that seeks to show us the daily life of a survivor, without ever going over-the-top or into excess morality, which would be particularly indigestible. (Les dessins, de prime abord simplistes, se révèlent particulièrement beaux et caractéristiques du style particulier de l'auteur. Ils servent et mettent en valeur la profondeur d'un récit qui s'attache à nous montrer le quotidien d'une survivante, sans jamais tomber dans une surenchère ou un excès de morale qui se reléverait particulièrement indigeste.)
