A walk around Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Museum. A 3-year-old boy was riding this tricycle in front of his house when the bomb hit. He was badly burned and died that night. His father, feeling his son was too young to be buried in a lonely grave away from home, and thinking he could still play with the tricycle, buried his son with the tricycle in his backyard. Forty years later, he dug up the boy’s remains to transfer them to the family grave, and donated the tricycle to the museum.
