Description | A-bomb Drawings by Survivors [Artist's comments]Summarized Sea of fire in all directions My mother, younger sister, younger brother, and I were on a streetcar from Funairi bound for Yokogawa. Just as the streetcar was leaving the Tokaichi stop, everything turned completely black. I had no idea what was happening. Inside the streetcar was chaos and panic, pushing and shoving, cries of “Let me out!” and “Open the door!” When it got lighter, we forced our way out. Everywhere we turned was a sea of fire, a red-hot hell. August 6, just after the explosion 750m / north side of the Tokaichi Intersection Masao Matsumoto |
