Description | On the day of the bombing, Shosuke Yokoyama had taken the family's belongings into the yard in preparation for evacuation. The A-bomb burned the house to the ground, and the friend who was supposed to transport his belongings was killed. Shosuke, lamenting the death of his friend, found this lump in the ruins of his house. It was passed down in that family for three generations. |
