Yamashita Masato created the Painting displayed on this page, based on what he saw at Hiroshima. In his own words he wrote: "The charred body of a child about 4 or 5 years of age lies on the bank of the Army Nishi Parade ground on August 9, his arms raised to the sky." Mr. Yamashita was 20 years old in 1945.
