| Description | Looking south-southwest from the Fukuya Department Store new building. This photo was taken from the emergency stairs of the Fukuya Department Store new building. From left, Tada Pediatrics, Hiroshima Bunrika University, the elementary school attached to Hiroshima Higher Normal School, Hiroshima Postal Savings Branch Office, Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital, and Hiroshima City Hall can be seen. In the right foreground, the Kirin Beer Hall can be seen. The original plan was to photograph the entire city from the rooftop, but the 8th floor was too hot to enter due to the still-smoldering embers, so the photographer took what photos he could. |
