Description | The donor's sister Asayo Tagawa (then, 23) was exposed to the bomb at her building demolition site and sustained serious burn injuries all over her body. She desperately reached her parents' home in Furuta-machi, worrying about her daughter (then, 2), whom Asayo had left there. After seeing her daughter's healthy face, Asayo passed away the next day, August 7th. |
