展示説明文(英語) Certificate of Kimiko’s Death
Donated by Yuriko Ishioka
Exposed to the bomb at Nishi-hakushima-cho, 1,350m from the hypocenter
This document certifies the death of Kimiko Kodani (then, 10 months). Kimiko was at her grandfather Saichi Tanaka's house with her mother, Ayako, and older sister, Yuriko, when the atomic bomb exploded. When the bomb hit, the house collapsed in an instant, and Saichi was killed on the spot. Yuriko was injured and covered with blood, while Kimiko was severely burned on her upper body. Ayako, although seriously injured herself, ran frantically, carrying Kimiko in one arm and holding hands with Yuriko. They somehow reached a first-aid station in Suzuhari Village in the suburbs of Hiroshima. However, Kimiko died on August 16, crying "umma umma…" for milk.

My ten-month-old baby sister died, leaving nothing, not even a photo.
Yuriko Ishioka (then,10), Kimiko's older sister, relates:
"We were just preparing breakfast, starting a fire on the charcoal stove. My grandfather was killed instantly by the blast, which came from behind. Kimiko was severely burned, especially on her upper body. Our mother took us, and we fled. But we had nothing. No clothes, no food. Later, we were put on a truck and taken to a first-aid station in the suburbs. It was there that my baby sister died on August 16 among many people agonizing in that hell on earth. She had only lived for ten months. We have no photo of her, as if there is no proof that she actually existed in this world. This makes me feel so, so sad."
