Asahi website shows 360-degree view of Hiroshima A-bomb destruction
HIROSHIMA--A striking panoramic view of the devastation in Hiroshima taken four days after the city's Aug. 6, 1945, atomic bombing can now be accessed on The Asahi Shimbun website.
The images were captured by Hajime Miyatake, a photographer working at Asahi’s Osaka photo department who visited Hiroshima to record the destruction from the world's first use of an atomic weapon.
The Asahi Shimbun scanned Miyatake’s negatives with a high-definition scanner and digitally restored the photos by removing stains and repairing damage to reproduce a 360-degree view of the city by combining 11 photographs.
The photos were taken Aug. 10 from the rooftop of a three-story police station in Shimoyanagi-cho (present-day Kanayama-cho, Naka Ward). Miyatake arrived in Hiroshima the previous day.
