The donor Toshimi Nakano (then, 14) experienced the atomic bombing in Funairi-saiwai-cho where he was working as a mobilized student. He was trapped under the collapsed building, fractured his skull and lost consciousness. He was later helped by his friend and the next day was able to return to his family who lived in Yasufuruichi Town, but he has no recollection of these events. Pieces of glass stuck in his wound and produced large amounts of pus every day. Even today his head wound aches. This military drill textbook bag was something that he always wore around his waist.
