| Description | Silently fleeing the flames 1,900m from the hypocenter Misasa-hon-machi 1-chome (now, Misasa-machi 1-chome) August 6, 1945 Mitsuko Yoshioka (18 at time of bombing, 48 at time of drawing) [Notes from the artist] A continuous line of men and women, adults and children, looking like nothing from this world, were fleeing the expanding flames. I couldn't hear any moaning or crying. It was like a line of lifeless people, not running or walking, just silently pursued by the flames without expression. |
