in a pattern corresponding to the dark portions of a kimono

Masataro Okahara (then 49) was exposed to the A-bomb in his office.  His wife Tsuneyo immediately tried to get into the city to find him but was stopped by the ferocious flames. One week after the bombing, she dug into the ruins of Masataro's workplace where his desk had been and found bones in the position of a person sitting in a chair.  This lunch box and pipe lay at the end of the outstretched right arm.
