| Description | The donor's father, Kennosuke (then, 42), was exposed at work. His wife, Fumiko (then, 34) was exposed demolishing buildings in Sakai-machi as a member of the Volunteer Citizen Corps. Both were severely injured but managed to flee home, where they received care. Both suddenly took a turn for the worse and died on August 31, leaving three children behind. Kennosuke was wearing this watch when he was exposed. His son Toshiyuki kept it as a remembrance. |
