[Notes from the artist]
From the notes of Haruko Fukai in the A-bomb Survivor Testimony Memories of the Atomic Bomb (Second Edition) by the Association of the Geihokucho Atomic Bomb Survivors
As a nurse, I treated the injured. There were people with giant blisters on their backs and even some people whose facial injuries had provided a place for flies to lay eggs which had become pupae. People whose bodies were burned black were laid in a line.
