| Description | Corpses strewn through the ruins, wandering injured seeking water Drawing-Text / Haruzo Ogawa Around 3:00 p.m., August 6, 1945 Approx. 500m from the hypocenter Zaimoku-cho (now Nakajima-cho) "The ruins of Zaimoku-cho were filled with dead and injured students and members of the volunteer labor corps. Especially huge numbers were gathered on both banks of the Motoyasugawa River. Looking to the east, I saw City Hall and the Chugoku Power Distribution Company building standing like ghosts across an empty, burned plain." Excerpt from his memoir |
