Description | A-bomb Drawings by Survivors [Artist's comments]Quoted from a document They wanted water. Black, black rain. Huge drops. People with injuries and burns. The ones still living craned their faces to the sky and opened their mouths wide to catch the drops. Hot bodies, so very hot, like balls of fire-they wanted water. (Taken from A-bomb Experiences-What I Want to Say, Vol.1; NHK Chugoku Office, 1977, page 244) August 6 260m / in front of Sumitomo Bank, Hiroshima Branch Akiko Takakura |
