As previously blogged here, the 60th anniversary of the Lucky Dragon No. 5 incident is coming up on March 1. 

It has been announced that this anniversary will be observed in Tokyo with a special commemoration program.

According to an article in the Mainichi Shimbun:

The operator of an exhibition hall housing the remains of a fishing vessel exposed to radiation from a U.S. hydrogen bomb tested at the Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands in 1954 is planning a commemorative gathering on the 60th anniversary of the incident on March 1. 

The Daigo Fukuryu Maru peace association, which manages an exhibition hall housing the ship's remains, is planning lectures and a concert on the anniversary at the Nippon-seinenkan Hotel in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, in what is being called "a memorial gathering."
