A mother, Kimi Nakano, doing the wash on a small bridge board and her youngest child, Chiaki, in the baby carriage. Kimi, the mother, is now 84 years old and still in good health. She lives in the same lakeside. "This baby carriage, which I found one morning washed ashore. I believed that the carriage was a gift from the gods and have raised 8 children with it." Kimi told nostalgically. (A. Kobayashi)
