| Description | "Soldier, please kill me." August 6 Bamboo grove in Mitaki Drawn by Shikuro Agari (then, 29) Donated by Kimie Agari <Notes from the artist> It was the first sight I'd ever seen. Hundreds of people, skin stripped, looking like a line of white fish in the evacuation center, their suffering continuing. I wondered how they managed to get here in their conditions. A man with burns all over his body grabbed hold of my legs, begging me to kill him. He wouldn7t let go and the skin of his arms got caught on my shoes and gaiters, clinging like a piece of ripped plastic. |
