Description | Kozue Okamoto (then, 20), was exposed at her building demolition work site. On the afternoon of the 6th, a coworker found her and carried her to the city's outskirts. Kozue was so burned she was unrecognizable even to her family. Her entire body was red and peeling, except for the band of skin covered by this wristwatch. When she heard, Kozue's mother, Mitsu (then, 62), rushed to her side and nursed her desperately. Kozue died on the 7th. |
