Crying, Running about Children. Begging in vain for Water. My family. Prayer for the Souls Who Thirsted for Water.
Hiroshima may be lucky enough to miss air attacks. Trapped under the debris just when I got out of the house. "Please help me!" "Give me water!" "Mom, Mom!" Maggots stuck to the body. River filled with bodies. Encouraged by the braveness of my son, I decided to tell my story.
August 6m1945, my pregnant wife was exposed to the bomb. February 14,1946. Yuriko was born. Microcephaly inflicted my daughter and cancer took the life of my wife. Sufferings that Yuriko experienced who was born after the atomic-bombing. Reference: Microcephaly
My house used to stand where the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park now lies. Happy days I spent with Kentaro. August 6. After the flash, I was Trapped under the collapsed school building. August 7. Desperate coming home. August 8. Is it human? -Unbelievable scence. My life and Hiroshima after the bombing.
Words of encouragement in the tragedy. Finally we reached the bank. Devaststed with my completely disfigured face. "You are fortunate to be dead..."
My dreams that never came true. Atomic-bomb experience Exposed to the bombing 3 days before the wedding. My lost left foot. Bombed Aogiri gave me courage to live. To devote my life to creating peace. Not let the tragedy be repeated.
Mobilized student to demolish wooden houses Fireball and Roaring sound Severe burns and ragged clothes As if I was looking at a horror movie I might have been able to save Michiko's Life On the verge of Death Miserable days of My Youth Adjust myself to Society through Welfare Activities Can hardly justify the Atomic Bombing Humanity and its possible extermination
Intense flash burst upon me Mother looked an unearthly creature Mother's fingers were left paralyzed A baby sucking at a dead woman's breast Father's body burned all over Maggots crawling over burned bodies Broken glass pieces in mom's mouth Father's death Too many deaths numbed my senses Horrible aftereffects took my brother's life Telling my story is my mission for peace
