A-bombed Deshio Army Clothing Depot Buildings
Four surviving brick warehouses whose warped iron shutters still bear the blast that shattered the city around them.
This guide to the A-bombed Deshio Army Clothing Depot Buildings in Hiroshima follows fourteen-year-old Chieko Kiriake, who grew up on this ground as a girl playing on a swing before becoming a mobilized student sewing uniforms here by nineteen forty-five. It traces what happened on the morning of August sixth that year, when the bomb fell two point six seven kilometers away and the depot's thick brick and concrete warehouses held while the wooden city around them burned. You will hear how Chieko came back that day searching for her grandmother, and why she has spent her later years asking that these four buildings stay standing.
