Yoshiko Tanaka survived the bombing of Hiroshima, as the only one among her friends at school. Scars running deep, it’s only for a few years that she has spoken publicly about her experience. "When I was a first-grader in elementary school, I was 2.3 kilometers from the hypocenter of the Hiroshima blast, in an area called Ushita, where I was burned and exposed to radiation. Amidst the destruction, as people wandered and cried out in pain, when the unchanged blue sky showed itself, in my child's mind, for some reason, a hope sprung forth that 'there will be a tomorrow.' We citizens of Hiroshima recovered and have overcome many challenges since then," wrote Tanaka in an open letter in The Mainichi in May 2016.
