Yoshito Matsushige

[1] Matsushige was at home 2.7 km south of the hypocentre at the time of the explosion.

A fire forced him back to Miyuki bridge, where the scene of desperate and dying people prevented him from using his camera for twenty minutes, when he took two frames at about 11:00.

[2] The first two frames are of people who escaped serious injury next to Miyuki bridge; the second of these is taken closer up and shows them having cooking oil applied to their burns.

A third shows a policeman, his head bandaged, issuing certificates to civilians.

[3] Matsushige was unable to develop the film for twenty days, and even then had to do so at night and in the open, rinsing it in a stream.
