| Description | Sustaining injuries along the way, they barely made it to a park on the hill where they crouched, stunned. 2,000m from the hypocenter/On the Hijiyama Park hillside Around 11 a.m. on August 6, 1945 Hidehiko Okazaki (18 at the time of the bombing, 48 when he drew this picture) Explanation in picture A woman crouching in the middle of the group had to stop walking because of the pain of the sand that had penetrated her flesh. It was embedded in the broken skin of feet peeling like torn tabi (socks with toes), the skin hanging from the sides. She picked it out with her fingers. On the left a person vomited repeatedly, perhaps from the radiation. On the right, health nurses attended a junior high student who had collapsed from burns sustained while he worked. They used a jacket to shade him from the sun. Though they were frightened by the sound of the B29 observation planes that flew over every few minutes, they were all stunned motionless. |
