Japon from Panic Grass and Feverfew by Steve Nordmann

"I suggested that I treat her first, since her wounds were very serious, but she continued to plead brokenly for me to do something for the child. I told her I would do as she wanted, and took the dead baby in my arms. The moment she was relieved of her burden, the young woman collapsed at my feet. She was already dead when I bent down to her." - Nakaichi Nakamura

A tribute to the victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The survivors of the bombings are called 被爆者 [hibakusha], a Japanese word that literally translates to "explosion-affected people".
