		Yoshito Matsushige (松重美人) (1913 - 2005) was a Japanese photojournalist who survived the dropping of the atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 and took five photographs on the day of the bombing in Hiroshima, the only photographs taken that day within Hiroshima that are known.
		Matsushige was born in Kure, Hiroshima in 1913.
		Matsushige was unable to develop the film for twenty days, and even then had to do so at night and in the open, rinsing it in a stream.

		Yoshito Matsushige, 91, spent most of his professional life photographing singers and actors for the Chigoku Shimbun, Hiroshima's newspaper.
		When the bomb detonated, Matsushige was with his wife in their home, almost two miles from the hypocenter.
		For hours, he struggled to reach downtown Hiroshima, picking his way past sparking electric wires and witnessing a parade of victims stagger from the city, their skin falling from their hands and faces.

		On Aug. 6, 1945, Matsushige wandered around Hiroshima for 10 hours, carrying one of the few cameras that survived the atomic bombing and two rolls of film with twenty-four possible exposures.
		The pictures are so affecting because ever since that day, all of us have, in a sense, been standing on that road to Hiroshima, alive but anxious, and peering into the distance at the smoke and firestorm approaching but not yet arrived.
		With that, Matsushige bid farewell, packed up his belongings, bowed deeply to the interviewer and left the room, carrying in his arms a portfolio of pictures that are utterly unique, and must remain so.

		The pictures he did take that day betray the paralysis he felt - the images show people from behind, hiding the emotion that journalists usually try to convey.

		The photography produced in Japan after the armistice of September 2, 1945 carries a powerful sense of the history that scarred the land of the rising sun, a country whose symbols and ways of thinking had seemed immune to change.
		Although the nuclear explosions themselves were captured on film only from a great distance, photographers such as Yosuke Yamahata and Yoshito Matsushige revealed the apocalyptic scale of their ravages.
		And, years later, a handful of photographers, among them Shomei Tomatsu and Hiromi Tsuchida, explored the repressed memories of the whole nation by approaching the surviving victims, examining the traces of those horrendous events - wounds that time had barely begun to heal.

		Due to government control of information, the news about Hiroshima was released slowly.
		For example, the still photographs Yoshito Matsushige took in Hiroshima on the day of the bombing were not published in an American media outlet until they appeared in Life magazine in September 1952.
		The early 1950s were actually very significant years in the cultural history of nuclear trauma in America because of the reactivation of worry about nuclear weaponry spurred by the development of the hydrogen bomb.

	Fahrenheit 8/6 - THE GLOBAL TRIP 2004
		WALKING AROUND PEACE MEMORIAL PARK and the Peace Memorial Museum, without a doubt, was the most depressing place I'd been to in The Global Trip 2004 thus far, largely in part because as an American I felt some sort of guilt.
		I got all choked up inside seeing the before and after models, and the press photos taken that day by photojournalist Yoshito Matsushige (who couldn't stomach being there after five shots).
		Depressed and saddened, yes -- but it was nothing a couple of pancakes couldn't handle.
