Nakajima Hon-machi was 100-700 metres from the centre of the atomic blast that was unleashed on Hiroshima during the Second World War. The 'Little Boy' atomic bomb directly killed 80,000 people when it was first dropped but injuries and radiation effects brought the total number of casualties to 90,000-140,000 by the end of the following six months. The shockwave from the attack completely destroyed 69% of the city's building structures.
