Fukushima documented the misery of the lives of the Hiroshima atomic bomb victims after World War II.He spent a decade photographing the people of Hiroshima, and in 1961 this work was published as Pika Don: The Record of an Atomic Bomb Survivor (Tokyo Chunichi Shimbun), for which he received a special prize from the Japan Photo Critics Association.
Fukushima devoted his long career to documenting individuals fighting social injustice. He refuses to accept a state pension because doing so, he thinks, would contradict the work that he has been doing with his camera.
