"The Lord Krishna said: ‘Time I am, the destroyer of the worlds, who has come to annihilate everyone. Even without your taking part all those arrayed in the opposing ranks will be slain!'"
This is one of five photographs shot by Yoshito Matsushigeon the day of the bombing in Hiroshima, the only photographs taken that day within Hiroshima that are known.
"...in front of the police box of Senda township located at the west end of Miyuki Bridge, a policeman took off the lid of an oil can and started to give first aid treatment to the people with burns, but the number of the injured increased rapidly. I thought this must be photographed and held the camera in position. The scene Isaw through the finder was too cruel. Among the hundreds of injured persons of whom you cannnot tell the difference between male and female, there were children screaming 'It's hot, it's hot!' and infants crying over the body of their mother who appeared to be already dead. I tried to pull myself together by telling myself that I'm a news cameraman, and it is my duty and privilege to take a photograph, even if it is just one, and even if people take me as a devil or a cold-hearted man. I finally managed to press the shutter, but when I looked the finder for the second time, the object was blurred by tears."
