[Notes from the artist]
My oldest daughter experienced the atomic bombing from Hiroshima Station and I learned that she had been received in Nakayama Village (now, Nukushina) in Aki County for treatment of her wounds, and this is me bringing her home by cart. The fires in the background are the platforms at Hiroshima Station burning.
