| Description | Felt like I was looking at hell 1,640m from the hypocenter Kan-on Bridge August 6, 1945, around 3:00 pm Yoshie Koma (14 at time of bombing, 71 at time of drawing) [Notes from the artist] While worrying about sparks and the hot wind, I waited for the tide to go out. Once it became evening, red flames came from the burning houses and I felt like I was looking at hell. This scene was imprinted on my brain. Feeling extreme sorrow and futility, I lost all motivation and entered a daze. |
