| Description | I have my hands full 1,500m from the hypocenter Showa-machi August 6, 1945 Kichinosuke Tamada (age 13 at the time of the bombing) [Excerpt of artist comment] My mother and brother heard my youngest brother and managed to get his face out of the debris, but couldn’t remove the fallen pillars trapping his body. They saw a fleeing neighbor and asked for help, but the neighbor didn’t stop, saying, “I have my hands full.” A fire started nearby. Unable to save my youngest brother, my mother and brother had to flee, assisting an injured woman who couldn’t walk. |
