1957 - Giant Anti H-Bomb Plea. A giant anti atomic and hydrogen bomb plea, probably the world's largest written by a single man, is shown nearing completion as a Japanese expert calligrapher tackles a 13-kilogram giant writing brush to write five big Chinese letters meaning opposition to A-and-H-bombs on a 250 sq. metre Japanese paper. The writing of the plea took place in the compound of an Osaka shrine, on Mar.30. 50-year-old Shoshichi Nakatsu, in his ceremonial kimono, did the job, wishing success to a Japanese Government's anti H-bomb mission that left for London the same day. He said that he would send he gigantic banner to the British Parliament through the Japanese Embassy in London
