[Notes from the artist]
Between the flames in front of me, I saw the figure of Mr. Shimizu, my neighbor from across the way, sitting inside his collapsing house with his arms folded. Mr. Kodama from the neighborhood came running, bright red and naked, screaming at Mr. Shimizu to run away. When he touched his arm, Mr. Shimizu fell over, already dead.
