Tokuo Fujita, then 28, a police officer from the Ujina Police Station, surrounded by victims, is writing out victim certificates for survivors in front of the Hiroshima District Monopoly Bureau, located on the east side of Miyuki Bridge.

Mr. Fujita, who had just finished working the night shift, experienced the atomic bombing at the police station about 4.7 kilometers from the hypocenter.
