Description | Yasuko Nukushina went to town, stood on a corner and asked passersby to sew one stitch each in this senninbari (thousand-person embroidery) to give to her son Yasusuke (then, 18), a student at Hiroshima School of Electricity. She kept it in the safe in their house, which burned to the ground. Yasusuke left that morning for his mobilization assignment at the Hiroshima Army Ordnance Supply Depot and was never seen again. |
