    From Hiroshima to Geneva: Shinichi’s Tricycle | City of Geneva

    The story behind the work

    THE August 6, 19453-year-old boy Shinichi Tetsutani is riding his tricycle when a nuclear bomb is dropped on Hiroshima by the United States. He was found with severe burns and died of his injuries the following night.

    Not accepting the idea of ​​leaving their son alone in the cemetery, his family decides to bury him with his tricycle in their garden. 40 years later, his father decided to move his remains to a family vault and donated the tricycle to the Hiroshima Peace Museum.

    Shinichi’s father, Nobuo Tetsunani, will say at this time: “This should never happen to children. We ask you to work towards creating a peaceful world where children can play as they please.”
