| Description | Donator Kikuma Yamamoto (then, 43) was exposed on the way to work and burned all over his neck and back. Managing to get home, he found his wife, Yoshiko (then, 40), trapped under the collapsed house. Kikuma was unable to extricate Yoshiko before flames enveloped the area. Three months later, he found this glasses lens in the burnt rubble of his home. The hot fires had melted the lens into this shape. |
