Description | Everyone is safe in Itsukaichi 1,400m from the hypocenter In front of his house Yokogawa-cho 1-chome August 9, 1945 Yoshitaka Yoshimura (11 at time of bombing, 68 at time of drawing) [Notes from the artist] The house my family lived in until 3 days ago was completed destroyed without a trace, just burnt pillars, plants, and a lantern. A wooden board with something written on it caught my eye. In ash, it said that everyone was safe in Itsukaichi. The instant I saw that, my tears blurred the writing. The tears fell in large drops. |
