Description
Photographs from Hiromi Tsuchida from the Hiroshima Exhibit at Galería de la Raza, curated by René Yáñez and Sal García. Print features a Japanese-style wooden sandal aflame, as well as other small images along the left and right sides. Text is in English and Japanese. English text reads, "Miyoko Inoue's Slipper. At the time, Miyoko, who was in her first year of junior high school, was helping to clear away the rubble at Zainoku-chi (500 meters from the hypocenter). The 550 students there were all killed by the bomb. Her mother searched the ruins for two months to find some trace of her daughter. The only thing she could find was the imprint of her daughter's left foot. Miyoko never returned. How hot it must have been, Miyoko.
