A haunting black-and-white portrait by Shomei Tomatsu depicts Shimotani Tomitaro, a survivor of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki, his face bearing the visible scars of the devastating blast that struck the city at 11:02 AM on August 9, 1945. Tomatsu's unflinching close-up gaze transforms the subject's scarred skin into a powerful testament to human endurance and the lasting physical and psychological trauma of nuclear warfare. The gelatin silver print, made in 1980, is part of Tomatsu's seminal long-term documentary project bearing witness to the hibakusha — the Japanese term for atomic bomb survivors — and their enduring legacy.
