Description | Ichiji Nakata (then 36) was standing by in his home on military orders. He was shaving when exposed to the A-bomb. His wife Fumiko and their two children were exposed just after they emerged from the bomb shelter. Ichiji and his children died instantly. Fumiko sustained serious injuries but surviverd. A few days later, Fumiko and Ishiji's mother found a lump of these melted cups in the ruins of their home and took it with them as a keepsake, along with their corpses. Fumiko died on August 30. The entire family was lost. |
