This black-and-white image shows a close-up view of stone steps and a textured wall, likely part of a building. At first glance, the scene appears normal, but its title and accompanying text provide context that transforms it into something intriguing. The text explains that the photograph captures the "shadow" of a person who had been sitting on the steps. While the individual has left, the moisture and heat of their presence altered the surface, leaving a subtle imprint visible in the image.

The image is framed within a white border, and the explanatory text is displayed beneath the photo in both Japanese and English. The shadows and worn stone texture add depth and evoke contemplation about impermanence and the traces we leave behind.

  • Light and Shadow: The photograph is defined by strong contrast between light and shadow, creating a dramatic effect.
  • Text: There is Japanese text, as well as English translation (Shadow of Person Sitting on Stone Steps) present at the bottom of the image.

Here is a description of the image:

The image is a black and white photograph, seemingly a document or a historical record. It depicts a section of stone steps leading up to what appears to be a stone building. The stone wall to the left of the steps is composed of large, textured stone blocks. The steps themselves have a worn appearance. The right side of the image features a more ornate stone structure with a series of tiered levels. A thin dark line, possibly a shadow or structural element, vertically bisects part of this structure.

Beneath the photograph, there is some text in what appears to be Japanese and English. The English text reads, "Shadow of Person Sitting on Stone Steps." It further elaborates that at the entrance to a bank, 260 meters from the hypocenter, a person was sitting on the steps waiting for the bank to open. It is believed the person was facing the direction of the blast at the moment of the explosion, and, without any chance to escape, died in place after being completely burned. The area where the person was sitting remained dark, while the surrounding surface of the stone steps turned white due to the heat rays.

The photograph captures a somber scene and evokes a sense of history and loss.

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a stone staircase, with a focus on the contrast between light and shadow. The steps are made of stone and appear to be part of an older building or structure, possibly a temple or historical site. The photograph captures the texture and details of the stone, including the rough surface and the way light falls on different parts of the steps.

There is text in both Japanese and English at the bottom of the image. The English text reads:

"Shadow of Person Sitting on Stone Steps

At the center of the photograph is a shadow of a person who was waiting for the bus in front of the station. It is believed that the person was facing the direction of the light at the moment the photograph was taken. The shadow of the person is cast on the stone steps. The place where the person had been sitting remained dark, while the surrounding surface of the stone steps turned white due to the heat rays."

The photograph seems to emphasize the interplay of light and shadow, highlighting the absence of the person who cast the shadow, creating a sense of mystery and timelessness.
