Description | A sitting child Drawn by Hiroyuki Goto August 7, 1945 Approx. 1,290m from the hypocenter Near Meiji Bridge Notes from the artist: On my way to Koi Station I came across a child sitting on some steps near Meiji Bridge who looked like he was in second- or third-year at elementary school. When I tapped him on the shoulder and asked if he was alright, he fell forward with a crash. There was nothing I could do for the dead boy, so I returned him to his seated position and put my hands together in prayer. |
