3-1-1-1Tricycle and metal helmet

1,500 m from the hypocenter Higashi-hakushima-cho
Donated by Nobuo Tetsutani

Shinichi Tetsutani (3 years, 11 months) was riding this tricycle when the A-bomb exploded. Suffering serious injuries and severe burns all over his body, he died that night groaning, "Water, water..." His father Nobuo put this metal helmet on Shinichi's body in the back yard so he could ride it even after his death.
Forty years later, Nobuo decided to place Shinichi's remains in the family Shinichi's skull intact inside the helmet.
