Nyokodo Nyokodo

Dr. Takashi Nagai's symbol of eternal peace and neighborly love has been passed down to many people.

Nyokodo, which is adjacent to the Takashi Nagai Memorial Hall, is Dr. Takashi Nagai's hospital room and study.

This 2-tatami building was built as a new home for the doctor, with the generosity of the people of Urakami and fellow Catholics who were left penniless by the atomic bombing. The doctor named this building ``Nyokodo,'' meaning ``Love your neighbor as yourself,'' and spent his later years here.
Dr. Nagai fought the onslaught of leukemia and worked hard to write even though he was bedridden.
From this room of just two tatami mats, the doctor continued to harass the people of Urakami, writing novels such as ``The Chains of the Rosary,'' ``Leaving the Child,'' ``The River of Life,'' and ``The Bells of Nagasaki.'' He published an essay, ``Leave this Child Behind'' which was made into a movie, and ``The Bell of Nagasaki'' which was made into a record and is still sung to this day as a postwar masterpiece.
