![]() This is, of course, just an excuse to give us the excerpts from the diary which take up a good part of the book. Shizuma had kept a diary at the time of the atom bomb attack (as had Yasuko) and he decides to transcribe that diary to show the matchmaker to prove that Yasuko was not exposed to radiation. The rumour is not strictly true, as she was in the outskirts at the time but, in fact, as we later learn, she was exposed to black rain and later contracts radiation sickness. He is trying to get her married but whenever a possible suitor appears, he hears a rumour that she has radiation sickness because she was in Hiroshima when the bomb fell. They live in Hiroshima some years after the bomb. Shizuma Shigematsu is looking after his niece, Yasuko. Ibuse’s best known novel is basically a fictionalised account of the first week after the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. ![]() ![]() ![]() Home » Japan » Masuji Ibuse » 黒い雨 (Black Rain) Masuji Ibuse: 黒い雨 (Black Rain) ![]()
