Background
In 1945,he was a 28-year-old-photographer on assignment with the Western Army Corps near Nagasaki.
On August 9,three days after the bombing of Hiroshima, news of a second “New-Style Bombing” was received by the Corps and Yamahata was sent immediately to photograph its aftereffects.
He arrived before dawn on August 10,1945.
As the sun rose he began to photograph the city, in which nearly half the population had been killed or injured by the bomb.
By nightfall he pleted the most extensive photographic record of the immediate aftermath of the bombings of either Hiroshima or Nagasaki, taking approximately 119 images during that single day.
When he was to leave, those photos were retained by the Army.
After 8 years later, those photos were allowed to show. In late July, 1995, an exhibition was held as part of the world’s observance of the 50 anniversary of the bombing. It had an unprecedented, simultaneous three-city opening at the San Francisco, Nagasaki and New York.
