| Description | On the third day, I finally arrived at the place where my house had stood in Takajo-machi. Fires were still burning here and there, and the streets were so hot I could hardly get through. My older brother, older sister, and the three-day-old baby all died in the fire. I found their bones after removing more than one foot of soil. I put my hands together and just prayed to Namu Amida Buddha. I wept and wept. |
