This special guest presenter will speak about the British and American communities in Nagasaki and the various English-language newspapers, consular reports and various private documents. Canadian-born Burke-Gaffney - an ex-Buddhist monk who resided in Kyoto for many years - was appointed International Advisor to Nagasaki City in 1985, has since written numerous books, and was awarded the Nagasaki Prefecture Citizens Award in 1992.
