Donor’s father Hisashi Nakamura (then 37) was exposed to the atomic bombing at his building demolition worksite and suffered burns. He was taken to Ono Army Hospital, but he passed away on the 7th, the following day of the bombing, leaving his wife and two children at their evacuation site. Hisashi’s younger brother Hisao received these pair of trousers and the belt at the hospital. Hisashi’s home was located in Tenjin-machi (currently Peace Memorial Park), and his parents and one of his brothers died in the bombing.
