Memories of Friends

The junior high school students who survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima suffer lingering guilt over their deceased friends. When walking on the street, holding hands with their loved ones, seeing the growth of their children or grandchildren, and noticing their parents getting old, they suddenly recall that day.

This exhibition displays belongings left behind by the deceased schoolchildren as well as drawings and testimonies to introduce the situation which decided their fates: dead or alive, the hardships and burdens of the surviving students, and the records that the survivors left as prayers for the repose of their deceased friends.
