YAMAGUCHI Seiji was 14 years old when he was exposed to radiation.
It was when he was 1st grade of Nagasaki Technical High School.
He was exposed to radiation when he was digging a bomb shelter at Mitsubishi Weapon Ohashi factory, 1.1 kilometer away from the center of Atomic Bomb explosion, where he was working as a mobilized student.
He got serious injure on his entire body.
At that night, he was carried to Omura Naval Hospital by a rescue train. After hovering between life and death for 40 days, he survived. Next March, he went back to his home town, Tamanoura, Goto islands.
In May of the same year (1946), he returned to school.
After graduating from school in March 1951, he worked for his father’s Manju shop.
And then he worked as a Tempura cook, a construction worker, a manager of a beauty salon, an architect and so on.
