Description | Air-raid warnings sounded in the night, calling Kazuo Matsumuro to duty as a member of a civil defense team. He returned home at 4:00 a.m. on the 6th. When the bomb exploded, he was lying down in his yukata because he had a cold and a fever of nearly 40°C. Kazuo's house collapsed on him, but he got out just in time and escaped to Hijiyama Hill. This is the yukata he wore at that time. The bones of his parents, who lived in the neighborhood, were found among the burnt ruins of their home. |
