I have no memory of atomic bombing in Nagasaki, especially what happened in our house.
Later, when I became age four or five, my mother explained what happened.
My mother was preparing lunch on the first floor, and I was sleeping on the second floor.
But suddenly, the blast came, and our Japanese wooden house half-broken.
Not completely, half broken.
So my mother came up to broken second floor and found me in a narrow space under the roof.
And she took me out successfully.
If she was not successful to take out me from the space,
Maybe I was burned by a firestorm, after one hour or two hours.
So I was a lucky boy, I was a lucky boy.
There were many unlucky boys and girls, yeah.
No.
My father actually stationed in Taiwan.
He was serving Japanese Army Air Force as medic.
My father first received information about Nagasaki disaster by bombing.
He first thought,
His wife and newborn son already dead, but one month later, a letter from my mother reached him.
So he was so glad to read.
Yeah, he became one of the main doctors who take care of atomic bomb survivors, especially as a hematologist.
It's a blood disease specialist.
