  Editor's note: Samizu had verbally mentioned this incident, On Sept. 26, 1954, the Toya Maru, a Japanese commercial ferry, sank with great loss of life.  She noted that she herself had taken  the Toya Maru  across the Tsugeru Strait only a few days earlier.,to attend   the Women's College of Fine Arts in Tokyo    Madoka Matsuki recounted in the family memories of his father Satoru Matsuki:  "My oldest sister went to an art school for women, and I was sending her books from home. It was on the Toya Maru. The book was blistered by the water and came back later. Because of this, the Toya Maru incident and our relocation to Horobetsu left a very strong impression on me"

I was living in Noboribetsu.   It happened   in 1945   in early   August.   First atomic bomb used in mankind's   history.    All the movies and all those things that describe it are false.   It wasn't like that at all.   In the beginning, we didn't know what the heck it was.   Then next thing we know, we got to all get checked out for "fallout".    We didn't know what the fallout was.   We only knew that if you are wet or ...
