Description Shinobu Furukawa (then 10) was a fifth grader in elementary school. He had gone from his home in Itsukaichi for treatment at an ear and nose clinic in Nishi-shin-machi. He was exposed to the bomb at the clinic. His mother Chiyoko went immediately to search for him, but the flames kept her from getting close to the clinic. She went again on August 7 and was able to identify his body only by this special belt buckle.
