Description | Jitsuo Maeda (then, 26) was stationed near Nobori-cho in a special garrison. He was spared the A-bomb as he had the day off and had returned to his hometown. Jitsuo returned to Hiroshima City on August 8 and assisted in relief activities until the end of the war. This harmonica was left at the barber shop in Higashi-hakushima-cho where Jitsuo worked before the war. |
