UEDA Yukio (then, 26) experienced the atomic bombing on the second floor of the Hiroshima Station West Signal Station. The building was blown away by the blast in a flash, and Yukio was slammed against the ground. Fortunately, he did not sustain any serious injuries, and several days later, he walked along a train track and finally reached home (in present-day Higashi-Hiroshima City).
After the war, Yukio did not talk much about the atomic bombing.
