Description | A-bomb Drawings by Survivors [Artist's comments]Summarized A scene not of this world It is so horrible to write or speak of what these eyes saw, what these hands and body touched, I have avoided it for 30 years. As I draw now, I smell the blood. I see the wretched figures with burnt skin so red and flayed I cannot tell if they are male or female. Those faces, skin melted off and contorted by terror, were not of this world. August 6, 9:00 a.m. 800m / on the way from Hatchobori to Shukkeien Garden Chie Harada |
