Many of us have family members who knew EXACTLY what they were doing when the bomb was dropped. Obaachan Fukuyo Yamaoka was in the kitchen refilling the shoyu bottles from the large can. Gion-Machi is 7.4 kilometers from the epicenter.

Why did the bomb save our family's lives? During WWII, Uncle Masajiro, who had ALWAYS received sports exemptions as a non-athletic boy, became a bookkeeper for a bank. At the end of the war, he was forced to go to a camp hidden in the bamboo groves of Hiroshima prefecture to learn how to fire a gun with wooden bullets in preparation to meet the long-anticipated American invasion.

Obaachan herself had made 100s of haramaki for Japanese soldiers. She was born in the year of the Tiger, so her sewing was considered especially blessed. Toward the end of the war, she, too, attended military practice to meet the seasoned American combat troops with the naginata. The atomic bomb saved thousands of Japanese civilians' lives. Why was the Nagasaki bomb necessary? The Japanese government hid the science behind the Hiroshima bomb from its population. On Aug. 9, after Washington dropped the second atomic bomb (on Nagasaki), Japan’s war minister, Gen. Korechika Anami, asked his fellow members of the Supreme War Council, “Would not it be wonderous for the whole nation to be destroyed like a beautiful flower?” Yurichan, who was a koto teacher, brought her classes of students to the Hiroshima bomb after math to help with clean up and rescue. All of them contracted horrible atomic bomb diseases. The American government established special hospitals and clinics to provide medical care throughout post-war Japan.
