Description | Looking north toward Kamiyacho and Tatemachi from Hondori Street (former Harimaya-cho). This photo was taken from the vicinity of Kishida Photo Studio, which was located on Hondori Street (former Harimaya-cho) and run by the photographer Mr. Kishida. There were dead bodies under the fallen pylons and concrete. This area, which used to be Hiroshima's main shopping street, was located near the hypocenter and suffered the most serious damage. The charred body of what appears to be a young boy can be seen in the lower left of the photo. |
