Damaged Lens with One Frame
Although the body of Moto Mosoro (54 at the time) was not found, a part of her burned head was discovered on September 6, one month after the atomic bombing, at a place 1,500 meters from the hypocenter. This was taken from an eye socket.
This picture and quote are from the “Hiroshima” archive of photographer Hiromi Tsuchida. The 3-part photo gallery can be found here. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima (for those of you who have not had the opportunity to visit), is very simple and not at all fancy, but there’s a quiet grace in the sadness that
surrounds the exhibits. It’s like visiting ghosts of a past that you weren’t a part of. (Today is the 60th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing.)
