Date of the Scene 1945/8/7
Distance from the Hypocenter (m) 2,300m
Location Ushita, Hiroshima Station areas

Description A crowd of people looking like Oiwa at a broken faucet.
Many injured people were waiting in line for a faucet, seeking water. They all looked like Oiwa [a character in a Japanese ghost story who suffers facial disfigurement after being poisoned by her husband]. The injured and dead were lying all over the neighboring area. I was too horrified to look at the scene.
