Ron and his Dahlia
Josiei Toda: in an impassioned speech calling for the abolition of nuclear weapons on September 8, 1957
This is Ron and his flower, a dahlia.
It reminds me of this picture taken of Josei Toda, a Buddhist, just before he announced his opinion that nuclear weapons were a curse on the world and humanity.
Toda’s flower is a chrysanthemum, but the similarities are obvious.
