Nagasaki begins with Tomatsu's images justly renowned close-ups of various artefacts damaged by the explosion - a watch stopped at precisely 11.02, a headless statue and, most powerfull of all, a melted beer bottle. This is one of those rare images that is worth a thousand others, where the fused glass stands in for all the wrecked bodies. The horror that this simple image evokes - more than all Domon's well-meaning pictures of reconstructive operations - demonstrates conclusively that Tomatsu was right to abandon the literal in favour of the allusive and metaphorical as the most appropriate trope for describing the postwar Japanese dilemma.
