He was exposed to the atomic bombing on his way to his building demolition worksite in Hiroshima City. He suffered burns on his face, and on both hands from his wrists to his fingertips. He boarded a rescue train with the other team members who survived, and returned home. He was unable to sleep that day due to the severe pain from his burns. The next day, the left side of his face was swollen. He endured pain and fever for several days. He was wearing this jacket that day. The parts that were covered by the straps for the water bottle and bag that were hanging across his body were left unchanged. |
