I received an email today with the sad new that Ikuko Hamamoto died on 10th March 2023. I cannot do better (since I didn't know her personally) than to copy this biographical note I found hosted on the Lund University website. The full document is interesting and gives a bit of a history of the nuclear group in Lund, including such key facts as they took a ferry once a week to Copenhagen to attend lectures of Ben Mottelson, then spending the ferry back to Sweden discussing the lecture.
Her oldest publication, from 1962 when the Beatles were just starting their recording career, comes with an affiliation of University of Tokyo, co-authored with Akito Arima, and her most recent was in 2021, sharing an affiliation between Lund where she spend much of her career, with Tokyo where she returned in her final years.
