..March 2019.. ..Nagasaki.. The Nagasaki National Peace Memorial Hall for Atomic Bomb Victims will be permanently exhibiting 15 portraits that I took of Nagasaki atomic bomb survivors.

I’m very proud these portraits will be displayed permanently at Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hall for all the visitors to see. The Peace Memorial Hall is attached to the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum.

Hamako Sasaki

Thursday, August 9th, 2018

“I was nineteen. After breakfast I sat down at the balcony and I was knitting while babysitting 4 children from the neighborhood.
Then I felt this bright bright flash as if the sun fell down from the sky.

Following that was a loud roar that I had never heard before. ”

-Hamako Sasaki, Nagasaki atomic bomb survivor

私は１９歳でした。朝は普通に起きて朝食を食べてから家のお縁に座って編み物をしていました。

私は近所に住んでいた子どもさん４人を預かっていました。子ども達がそばで遊んでいる時に

パチャーーーッといってピカーッと光を感じました。私は目の前にお日様が落ちてきたのかと思いました。

続いていつもと違う爆音がしました。物凄い音でした。普通の空襲や焼夷弾なんかとは全く違う感覚でした。
