| Description | Searching, praying not to find my child 800m from the hypocenter Near Dohashi August 7, 1945, morning Drawn by Tomiko Miyaji (age 34 at the time of the bombing) [Excerpt of artist comment] The bodies of mobilized students were laid out neatly, and offered boxes of bento (packed lunch) salvaged from the blaze. Their upper bodies were burned, dark red and bloated, and their swollen features made them unrecognizable. I searched for my child, praying not to find my child among the bodies. |
