This is one of two persimmon trees standing in the garden of a private residence in Nagasaki City's Ote 1-chome. At the time of the bombing the district was called Yonogo. When the then Nishiurakami Village was made part of Nagasaki City in 1938, Yonogo became Nishiurakami Yonogo, then after being part of Showa-machi it was changed into the three-block Ote-machi covering 1- , 2- and 3- chome. In those days since it had only recently become a part of Nagasaki City it still retained a gentle landscape dotted with houses amid agricultural fields.

This location was 1.9km from the hypocenter when the atomic bomb was dropped, and the blast wave hit and destroyed the house. The branches and leaves of this tree were blown apart. However, it recovered and even 75 years after the atomic bombing it continues to bear fruit from summer to autumn each year.

Residential development of the area proceeded after the war, but this persimmon continues to silently stand in the place it always has.
