THE PICTURESABOUI THE ATOMIC BOMB _ANAPPEAL OF THE CITIZENS This book contains 104 pictures of a total of 975 collected during two months lrom June to August 1974 in response to an NHI( television appeal entitled "Let us Leave for Posterity Pictures about the Atomic-Bomb Drawn by Citizens". None of these pictures was drawn by a professional artist. They were done by old pcople such as those we pass by in the city of Hiroshima and sit next to on the bus. N{ost of them had never drawn a picture since their graduation from elementary school. In the pictures the personal experiences of the Atomic Bomb are shown. They are not merely the records and materiah of that day thirty years ago. Rather, each picture echoes the heartfelt cry of someone who has bccn enduring sorrow and sullering for thirty years since the day the Atomic Bomb was dropped. It Started frorn a Sing1e Picture One day in May, 1974 Mr. Iwakichi Kobayashi, an old man of 77 wearing geta, visited the NHK studio in Hiroshima He ha.d a single picture rvith him and said that the T. V. drama "Hatoko no Umi," then on the air, reminded him of the Atomic Bomb explosion. He showed us his picture titled "At about 4 P M., August 6, 1945, near Yorozuyo Bridge". In the simply and vividly drawn picture were countless numbers of people su'ffering from burns and ihirsting for water. T<strong>here</strong> was also a figure of a young lady covered with a burned sheet of tin-roofing lying on the river bank. Mr. Kobayashi explained that he was at the railway station when the Atomic Bomb exploded. He was looking for his only son when he witnessed the scene he had drawn. Usually we think of the Yorozuyo Bridge as an ordinary bridge we cross and we do not pay any attention to it because Hiroshima has many.rivers with iimilar bridges.. So we were awed by the extraordinary power of Ntr. Kobayashi's picture and by the vividness of his memory even after almost thirty years. How different this was from understanding the Atomic Bomb experience by reading a story. The picture appealed directly to our senses. Mr' Kobayashi said to us, "Even now I can not erase the scene from my memory. Before my death I wanted to draw it and leave it lor others." Having heard his words we made up our minds to ask the people who experienced the Atomic Bomb to draw pictures of what they remembered on that day t05
