The story of Daigo Fukuryu Maru, or Lucky Dragon No. 5, is based on one of the most important episodes in post-war history of Japan. In late February 1954, a wooden tuna fishing boat carrying 23 crew members left Yaizu Port in Shizuoka Prefecture for the Pacific Ocean. Unaware of the danger ahead, the fishermen found themselves near Bikini Atoll. Where the United States was conducting large-scale nuclear weapons tests.
At 3:42 a.m. on 1 March 1954, the crew witnessed a brilliant flash of white and yellow light on the horizon. Followed by a powerful shockwave that shook the vessel. Although the boat was outside the officially designated exclusion zone, radioactive fallout drifted across the sea. Covered the crew in fine white ash for hours. All 23 of the fishermen came down with acute radiation sickness when they returned to Japan. The incident shocked the nation and became a turning point in the country’s anti-nuclear movement.
