Fountain Pen
Tetsuo Kawakami (33 at the time) was walking on his way to the Chugoku Newspaper Company, where he worked, 1,300 meters from the hypocenter. Seriously burned on the front of his body, his skin peeled, and only his underpants and a belt remained on him. This fountain pen was clinging to his burned skin.
