Description Maggots filling a man’s eyes and mouth
August 7, 1945 1,300 m from the hypocenter Temma-cho
Drawn by Takeko Nabara (15 at time of bombing, 72 at time of drawing)

On the 7th, a man was leaning on a broken mud wall in Temma-cho.
As his eyes were moving, I thought that he was alive. I approached him only to be frightened by the sight that the fat maggots were filling his eyes and his mouth.
Despite the atomic bomb, the flies hardily survived.
