| Description | Hanayo Tsukamoto's second-born daughter, Shizue Tsukamoto (then, 23), was exposed to the bomb at the Kamiya-cho intersection, close to the hypocenter, while on her way to work from her house in Higashi-hakushima-cho. Following instructions from her workplace, she had left home around 8 A.M., a little later than usual. Her father, Toshio (then, 51) searched for her and on the 7th learned that she had made her way to Inokuchi Village. When Toshio arrived in Inokuchi, Shizue was so badly burnt that her father didn't recognize her until he heard her voice, but she was conscious and overjoyed that her father had come for her. Her family's determination to care for her was in vain as Shizue died on the 10th. |
