In this paper I propose a thematic exploration of the biblical book of Lamentations in light of the literature of survival that has arisen in response to the nuclear devastation of Nagasaki at the end of World War II. My guiding expectations are twofold. First, I am convinced that the uniqueness of this body of literature, once brought into the hermeneutical conversation of scholars and researchers, will open up new interpretive possibilities for understanding the book of Lamentations. Second, I believe that the book of Lamentations, itself a sequence of poems forged in the fires of survival, will, once read in the shadow of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, have its own unique poetic balm to offer Japanese people.
