| Description | While I was unaware, A Woman Lying on the Ground Breathing Very Feebly Was Taken Away Painted by Daikichi Nitta August 7th, 1945 Approx. 1,500m from the hypocenter at the entrance of the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital Remarks by the Painter At the entrance of the hospital where I went (to find my classmate), a woman of around 30 or so lay on the ground. While staring at her for a while, I noticed that after one breath, she did not take another. When I got worried about her, she finally took her next breath ...I was not sure how much time had passed after that, but when I left the hospital, she was no longer not there. I was sure that she could not walk alone. I have read an article saying that those who were still alive were also loaded onto trucks with corpses at that time. She might have possibly been carried on such a truck. |
