| Description | Motoji's father, Koichi (then, 38), and mother, Kimiyo (then, 35), were exposed at home in Higashi-kan-on-machi. Kimiyo rescued her injured husband and got him to Ono-cho. This watch belonged to Koichi. They found it in the burnt ruins of their home and preserved it carefully. The high-temperature fire melted the needles onto the watch face. |
