TANI Emiko was an atomic bomb survivor who was exposed during a forced relocation. Although uninjured herself, her father fell ill from the radiation. Their life together was unimaginably difficult, with Tani caring for her father while attending elementary school without missing a day.
She recalls a poignant memory of her father taking her to see cherry blossoms, later realizing he may have been searching for a place to end their lives together. After starting work post-junior high and marrying at 18, Ms. Tani lost her father to leukemia just four months later.
