August 12th – A controversial product, an LED lamp shaped like a nuclear mushroom cloud from the Hiroshima atomic bombing, has ignited a firestorm of criticism in Japan. The lamp, sometimes marketed with names alluding to the event, was reportedly gaining popularity online in China.
The product simulates the iconic mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion, often paired with a 3D-printed miniature of Hiroshima. Its initial success on Chinese e-commerce platforms prompted its discovery and subsequent translation and sharing across Japanese social media, triggering widespread outrage.
Japanese netizens have condemned the item as a “desecration of history” and a “commercialization of pain,” demanding its removal from online marketplaces and accusing Chinese sellers of “lacking humanitarian sensitivity.” The backlash highlights the deep-seated emotional wounds that linger decades after the devastating event.
On August 6, 1945, a U.S. B-29 bomber dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, a second bomb was detonated over Nagasaki. These two bombings hastened Japan’s surrender, effectively ending World War II.
Notably, the pilot involved in the atomic bombing, in later interviews, expressed a lack of regret, stating, “I don’t regret it, because it saved more people. If I had to do it again, I would.” This ongoing debate surrounding the bombings underscores the complex moral and historical implications that continue to resonate today, amplified by products like this controversial lamp.
