[Notes from the artist]
We entered the city to look for our aunt's familiy who lived in Ote-machi. Here is the gate to Fudo Bank looking like it could fall at any moment. This is where she lived. Her house was blown away in the blast and the road had become much narrower. The smoldering ashes were still very hot.
